• Be prepared to write 150 word essays. Gather people who can proof your writing. Here are questions to work on:
  1. Describe your major and your long term professional goals. What stimulated your interest in your chosen major and what attributes do you possess that you feel would enhance your career?
  2. What does success look like to you? Share an example.
  3. Most UCC Scholarship funds are generously donated by individuals who have lived, worked, and been active in our area. Knowing this information, please tell us what a scholarship would mean to you.
  4. Describe a significant change, experience or hardship that has occurred in your life. How did you respond and what did you learn about yourself?
• Choose two reliable people as your references and keep their email contact information available. Ask them NOW in advance. Remind them BEFORE the scholarship application deadline.
