QUAPAW TRIBE OF OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP RESOURCE BOOKLET
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" To all Quapaw Students...
Your maker gave you breath. But you had to breathe.
As you grew, your parents provided meals. But you had to eat. Your parents
gave you a bed and a bed time. But you had to sleep. Your parents proudly passed on
their heritage to you. But you had to feel the pride and purpose.
Your teachers gave you knowledge. But you had to learn.
Your tribe gave you identity. But you had to seek its legacy.
And now your tribe gives you a scholarship. And you must be a scholar.
There is an old saying..."You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him
drink." The list of scholarship opportunities in this booklet is for you...it is the water.
You can stare at it, ignore it, dream about it. But it will never quench your thirst until you apply for the scholarships, until you meet the deadlines, until you write the essays, until you secure the recommendations.
Your parents will help, your teachers will help, your tribal director of education will help. But you must do.
If, in looking for a scholarship, a provided link does not work, email or call me and
I will get the information for you. If you truly want a certain scholarship...let's go get it!!
Good luck. May your dreams be exceeded only by your accomplishments.
Pam Leptich Director of Higher Education Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma PO Box 765 Quapaw, OK 74363 1-918-542-1853, ext. 211 [email protected]
The scholarship, “Online Colleges.org Support A Student Scholarship for Single Parents,” - the first of its kind - was created to financially assist single parents enrolled in a college degree program with an online learning component.
Here is a link to the scholarship http://www.onlinecolleges.org/scholarship
The winner, who will be announced on December 1st, 2011, will be awarded $10,000 towards non-tuition related living expenses for the January 2012 academic year including: • Rent • Childcare • Books and School Supplies • Utilities – Gas and Electric • Utilities – Internet • Groceries
Any single parent enrolled in a degree program with a significant online component is eligible to apply. The applicant must also be receiving some other type of financial aid.
Tips as You Search for and Prepare Your Scholarship Applications
Understand the purpose of the scholarship. Scholarships may be designed to encourage students to enter a specific career field, to reward students who contribute to their communities, or to help underserved students enter higher education. Use this information to guide how you write your scholarship application.
Follow the directions. Make sure you take the time to be certain every i is dotted and t is crossed. Include all the information and forms requested and answer every question.
Write an essay that demonstrates why you should win. The scholarship application gives the scholarship judges a sense of who you are and what's important to you. Think about what skills and qualities the scholarship judges seek and then describe how you match them.
Get feedback from editors. You can't write a strong scholarship essay in a vacuum, and editors are the best people to help. Friends, teachers, parents, and your tribal education department personnel can make great editors.
Proofread. No matter how strong an applicant you are, it would be difficult for a scholarship judge to overlook your spelling and/or grammatical errors. Proofread your application and essays carefully, and have your editors do the same.
Practice for interviews. Ask a friend or parent to do a mock interview with you to prepare you for the real thing.
Ask your parents for help. Your mom and dad are capable of doing more than writing the tuition check. They can help you find scholarships, keep track of deadlines, and give you feedback on your applications and essays.
Brag a little about yourself. You need to let your best self shine through in your scholarship applications. Don’t be bashful about discussing your accomplishments.
FAFSA INFORMATION
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 1-800-4-FED-Aid Request for paper application http://www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov Download a PDF Version http://www.fafsa.ed.gov Apply online-QUICKEST
You must complete and submit the FAFSA to apply for federal student aid for college or career school and for most state and institutional aid. Financial aid offices use the information from the FAFSA to determine if you are eligible to receive federal student aid from grants, loans or work-study programs. States and schools also use the information from the FAFSA to determine if you qualify for additional aid. SO BE SURE TO FILL OUT A FAFSA EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU WON’T QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL AID. USEFUL TIPS: The quickest way is to APPLY ONLINE using FAFSA on the web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov A FEDERAL STUDENT AID PIN allows you to sign your FAFSA electronically. Even if you don’t file online, a PIN is useful because it can be used to access and correct your processed FAFSA information later. o Apply for your PIN at http://www.pin.ed.gov o If you are providing parent information on the FAFSA, one of your parents must also sign your application. To sign electronically, your parent should apply for his or her own PIN. GATHER THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO APPLY o Social Security number . Yours . Your parents’ if you are providing parent information o Driver’s license number if you have one o Alien Registration Number if you are not a U.S. Citizen o Federal tax information or tax returns, including W-2 information, using income records for the year prior to the academic year for which you are applying . For yourself . Spouse if married . Parents if you are providing parent information, o Records of untaxed income, such as Social Security benefits, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and veterans benefits, for yourself (and for your parents if you are providing parent information); and information on savings, investments, and business and farm assets for yourself (and for your parents if you are providing parent information). Be Aware of DEADLINES- You may have to meet application deadlines, depending on your college and where you live. State and school deadlines are usually earlier than federal deadlines. The FAFSA on the web WORKSHEET- This worksheet is optional but can be useful if you decide to file your FAFSA online. Your college or high school might have a copy of the worksheet, or you can print one from http://www.fafsa.ed.gov Follow up on your FAFSA- Your application will be processed and you will receive your STUDENT AID REPORT by e-mail or by mail. You should review your SAR for any necessary corrections or updates. If you do not hear from FAFSA within three weeks, go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and select “Check the Status of a Submitted FAFSA,” or you may call 1- 800-4-FED-AID.
