Alumni Scholarship Cover Sheet
The Alumni Scholarship Committee is excited that you have chosen to fill out our

A date to remember: By April 20, 2011, your application must have been submitted
to Darlene Niehues, President of the Alumni Scholarship Committee.
The application is available on-line (www.usd322.org) and from the O.H.S. Counselor.
As you are filling out this application, make sure to give attention to the following
techniques in order to make your application competitive in this scholarship
application process:
_____ Applications must be typed.
_____ Is your application completely filled out? If an item does not apply to you,
note this by indicating NA (Not Applicable).
_____ Have you noted some type of community service, even if they are small acts
of service? (If you have no community service, it is suggested that you
volunteer to do something for 10 hours for your community, church,
school, neighbors, etc.)
_____ Is your application free of spelling and grammar errors?
_____ Have you made a duplicate copy? A good practice is
to make yourself a duplicate application, fill it out and have someone look
it over for errors. Then, copy your corrected information onto the original
application form and mail it in.
_____ Do you have all the required signatures?
_____ Do you have a copy of your transcript included with application?
