Navy Supply Corps Foundation 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.

Each scholarship has a set of requirements: specific factors that determine whether or not you're eligible to apply. You can visit the scholarship site to find this information, or fill out the Mos quiz to be automatically matched with scholarships you qualify for! FYI: the more information you share with Mos, the better scholarship matches Mos will make!

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.

If you select "dependent" on your FAFSA, then your family's finances will be taken into account on your financial aid. The Department of Education has a different definition for dependency than the IRS does.

For financial aid, being a dependent means:

• You'll be under the age of 24 by Jan. 1 of the next school year

• You're not married

• You don't have children

• You've never been in foster care

• Your parents haven't passed away

• Your legal guardian is a biological parent

• You haven't served in the military

• You're not a graduate student

• You're not experiencing homelessness
