❤ Scholarships & Opportunities

💡 Scholarship Tips from Dr. Sobhanian

• Apply to many scholarships — treat each application like a job interview and tailor your essay to the organization's mission
• Start at your college financial aid office — many local scholarships go unclaimed because students don't know they exist
• Community college students are often overlooked — this is an advantage, not a disadvantage, for many scholarship programs
• Write about your genuine story — scholarship committees are moved by authenticity, not perfection
• A strong relationship with a faculty mentor (like your biology professor) can unlock recommendation letters that open doors
