Tips for Applying for Cleary University Grants and Scholarships When applying for institutional aid, it is important for you to know that you will be in competition with other students for limited scholarship funding. To enhance likelihood for a financial aid award, be sure to submit a complete application. In addition to the application form, this includes: A student copy of your transcript. Since scholarships are based on academic achievement, the transcript provides evidence of your previous achievement, as well as your cumulative grade point average. It is important to include this document with the application even if you have previously submitted a transcript for admission purposes. An original essay. The essay provides information about you to the decision makers who award the scholarships and grants. This is an opportunity to introduce yourself, communicate your goals as well as previous achievements, and describe how the scholarship or grant will be beneficial to you. A letter of recommendation. For some scholarships and grants, this is a requirement. Even if a recommendation letter is not required, it can provide useful, objective information to the committee members who make the award decisions.
