How to Create a Scholarship Portfolio

What is a Scholarship Portfolio?

Why you need one?

Scholarships require certain information and documents.

Scholarship applications will be rejected if you are missing requested documents and/or information.  

Spending a few hours creating a Scholarship Portfolio will make applying for scholarships easier. 

From your files and off your computer, you will be able to pull all the documents needed.  

This will allow you to apply for the scholarship right away. 

All-nighters and missed deadlines will be a thing of the past.
