Application Instructions
FAFSA Statement Report
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA, is an online form that determines your eligibility for financial aid. Please submit your FAFSA and include your Student Aid Report in your application.
​
​
Proof of Florida Financial Aid Application
The FFAA application allows students to apply to the State Scholarship & Grant Programs, including Bright Futures, Florida Farmworker Student Scholarship, and the José Martí Scholarship Challenge Grant.
​
​
Copy of ONE college application essay.
College essay prompt must be included in the attachment.
​
​
Proof of Application to TWO or more independent scholarships.
This is to show you are taking personal initiative to help fund and support your education. Your high school guidance counselor will be able to direct you toward many scholarship sources. You can also search online on sites like scholarships.com or College Board.
If you have applied for a scholarship that requires you to submit hard copy materials rather than an online application, you may submit an email from your school counselor confirming that you applied as your Proof of Application.
​
​
Teacher Recommendation
Please speak with your teacher ahead of time to confirm that she/he is willing to do this. All recommendations must come from a teacher, not a guidance counselor, and must be sent from an official school email. We will email them a letter about our foundation, asking for their recommendation.
​
​
Resume of Activities
