FAQ

What is a letter of recommendation?

A letter of recommendation (letter of rec) is a letter written by someone in your life who can speak to your achievements, positive traits, and potential. It's basically a summary of why you're great and deserve the scholarship or funding you're applying for! Typically, students ask teachers, mentors, coaches, or employers (never family or friends). FYI: You have to ask someone to write a letter of rec for you.

What if I don't hear back from a scholarship?

If you haven't heard back within a few weeks, reach out to the scholarship organization! Some scholarship organizations email all the applicants to let them know if they were selected or not, while others only contact the winners—it usually depends on the number of applicants. It never hurts to follow up.

What is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from the US Government, and it's the most important thing you can do to get money for college! The federal government, your state, and your college all rely on this form—and the EFC (Expected Family Contribution) it calculates—in determining how much aid you're eligible for.

What will I need to fill out my FAFSA?

The most important pieces of information to have handy are your:

Social Security Number (SSN)
Family tax returns, from two years before
1. (So for 2023-2024, that means 2021 tax returns)
Bank records of your family's investments
The colleges you are considering
1. (You can list up to 10, which can be changed later if your plans change)
