How do I apply for scholarships in SU?
  1. Once logged in to SU, get started by clicking on 鈥淨uestions鈥 in the dashboard menu.
  2. These questions help match you to scholarships for which you qualify.
  3. The more questions you answer, the better!
  4. After answering the questions, you鈥檒l be able to view your matches.
  5. Then, you will be able to apply for the scholarships to which you matched.
  6. Foundation Scholarships will require you to upload a resume when you apply. So, be sure you have your resume saved as a PDF so you can upload it to the application. You may also compose the resume from within the application instead of uploading the document.
  7. Foundation Scholarships will also require you to upload an unofficial transcript from the current or most recent school attended. Here are some transcript tips:
    • If you are a high school senior, upload a copy of your current high school transcript, and make sure that your current GPA is included on the transcript.
    • If you are a 兔子先生student, obtain a copy of your transcript from the Office of 兔子先生 or download an unofficial copy from your My.兔子先生account.
    • If you have multiple transcripts you鈥檇 like to upload, scan them all together so you can upload them as one document.
  8. Foundation scholarships also require two letters of recommendation. Here are some tips for obtaining letters of recommendation:
    • The person who writes your letter of recommendation should be someone representing areas such as school, church, community, civic, work, etc. It should not be a family member.
    • It is helpful to give a recommender about a two-week notice before you need the letter.
    • It is your responsibility to obtain the letter back from your recommender and upload it to this application before the deadline.
    • You may ask your recommender to provide you with a typed letter, or you may provide your recommender with a link to this . They may print, fill out, and sign the recommendation form and return it to you so that you may upload it to this application by the deadline.
  9. You can always start a scholarship application and go back and finish it later! But you cannot submit an application after the deadline. So, if you match to a scholarship that requires you to upload documents, be sure to give yourself enough time to gather the documents and upload them to the application by the deadline.
Can I edit my answers to matching questions?

Yes! It鈥檚 easy to make changes to your matching questions in two easy steps.

  1. Click on the Questions tab from the SU menu.
  2. Then, click on the pencil icon to edit your response.
Can I edit an application that has already been submitted?

Yes, but only if the deadline has not passed yet! After a deadline passes for a scholarship, you cannot edit the application. We recommend reviewing your answers and documents carefully before the deadline.
