Preventing Incomplete Applications

The Nominee Guidelines for each scholarship program specify the materials every candidate must submit to complete his or her application. Unfortunately, each year, we must automatically remove many otherwise qualified candidates from contention because they have failed to provide the complete materials as requested. Applications are most frequently removed from contention automatically because of the following problems:

• Transcripts from all institutions a candidate has ever attended are not submitted.
• Applicant tax forms are not submitted.
• Parent Financial Forms are not submitted (required for students under the age of 30 only).
• Parent tax forms are not submitted (required for students under the age of 30 only).
