UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND OF NORTHERN OHIO
IT'S SCHOLARSHIP SEASON!
APRIL UNCF NORTHERN OHIO INSIDER
Getting Northern Ohio Students to and through College.
Over $2.9 Billion in FREE College 
Money Goes  Unclaimed by Students - Why?

Students don't apply, don't complete the application, don't complete the application on time, or neglect to complete their FASFA form. Don't add to this number. 

Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
  • Avoid simple application errors. "Read and follow all the directions closely, and proof your essay and contact information," 
  • Don't count yourself out. You don't need high SATs and ACTs or even a 4.0 GPA to apply for scholarship dollars 
     
  • Remember accomplishments and community service counts. Don't forget to ask organizations you are a member of if they have scholarship opportunities, and don't forget to include them on your applications.  
     
  • Shop around now for the best recommendation letters. Don't assume a favorite teacher will write a glowing letter. Even if a teacher believes you are the best student he's taught in his entire career, he may not be a compelling writer. Ask several potential recommenders to write letters.
     
  • Talk to school officials. Some of the best scholarships require a nomination from your school. Make sure your counselor and teachers are familiar with your accomplishments, especially the things you've done outside of school
     
  • Last but not least call us and visit the UNCF website. We will help!
