Maximize Your Chances

Applying for scholarships is one of the smartest ways to make college more affordable. Follow these steps to give yourself the best chance at earning financial support.

• Complete your FAFSA: This helps determine your eligibility for federal aid and is required for many scholarships.

• Apply early & meet deadlines: Many scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so early applications give you the best chance. Check the deadline for each scholarship!

• Apply each year: Most scholarships only last for one year, so applying every year keeps you in the running for new opportunities.

• Submit all required documents: Missing items like transcripts or letters can delay or disqualify your application.

• Ask for help: Don't miss out just because you're unsure about something. CSI's Financial Aid Office and advisors are here to guide you.
