Calling all Build A Better Future Scholarship applicants! We are just a few days away from our submission deadline for scholarship applications. You’ve worked hard on your projects, made great impacts in your communities, and now it’s time to turn it over to us!
Before you hit that final “submit” button, here’s a few reminders for you:
- Make sure you have gathered all the necessary contact information that is required on the application. This includes names, phone numbers, AND email addresses!
- Take a few minutes to proofread your application. Does it all make sense? Are there any spelling or other grammatical errors to be fixed? Is contact information entered correctly?
- You must have A MINIMUM of 5 photos relating to your project– possible photo submissions could include photos of prototypes, photos of you interacting with those involved with your project, photos of final products, etc. You are welcome to submit more than 5 photos.
- You must include a 2-5 minute video that meets the following criteria:
- Include examples of your work in action (photos, video clips, etc.)
- Include a few words directly from you regarding your project (can be a voice-over)
- Include 1-3 brief interviews with people you are working with
- You must address the following questions:
- What would you improve with more time?
- What new skills or concepts have you acquired?
- What have you learned about yourself based on the experience?
- CHECK YOUR SHARE SETTINGS! Double (maybe even triple or quadruple) check that your photos and video(s) are viewable by outside sources. We cannot admire your amazing work if your share settings are set to private. Failure to properly upload your photos and videos will likely lead to disqualification. Don’t let that happen to you!
- Lastly, take a minute and breathe. Reflect on your hard work and what you’ve learned. Pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself on a job well done!
