There are two basic ways to
apply. One, go to the Financial Aid Office and fill out the University
Scholarship Application as well as the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). While there, check the list of currently available outside
scholarships as well. Two, go to the Horticultural and Crop Science Department
office (Bldg. 11, Rm. 230) or individual faculty to obtain descriptions and applications for
scholarships awarded outside the university both within the state and
nation. You may be eligible for several of them.
|
To IMPROVE your chances, fill
out the application completely, accurately, neatly AND follow these
guidelines: |
-
Order
transcripts from all colleges/universities you have
attended. This may take some TIME, so do it first!
-
Some
scholarship committees look favorably upon employment in the
industry and activities showing achievements in
horticulture.
-
Does your
ACADEMIC GOALS STATEMENT fit the scholarship organization?
(If applying to the nursery industry for a scholarship your
goal should not indicate landscape architecture, retail
florist, etc.)
-
Applications
must be TYPED (or CLEARLY PRINTED). LETTERS OF
RECOMMENDATION. If you need two references, consider
requesting three references so you have at least two. ALSO,
they must be current letters on official stationary.
It would be best if at least one were a Cal Poly EHS
instructor.
-
REVIEW YOUR
APPLICATION with your academic advisor before mailing.
-
Be sure to
SIGN your application and put POSTAGE on the
envelope.
WE WISH YOU THE BEST! WE KNOW YOU NEED THE MONEY AND
ARE DESERVING. |
