FIRST APPLICATION IS HERE
If you were hoping to submit the first application of the scholarship season to the DSACF office, you're too late. Earlier this week the scholarships@dsacommunityfoundation.com inbox received its first bump of the season with an application.
I am not going to embarrass the super organized and way-prompt individual here by naming names, but you've got to hand it to her for being so on the ball. The deadline is two months away and her application is already in. She can kick back and enjoy the Holidays knowing one of the big tasks of her senior year is done.
And I must say, it looks like a solid application. I don't have the transcripts, recommendations or FAFSA information yet, but a quick glance through it tells me that this applicant is probably in the running. She's checked about a half dozen boxes at the top of the application and my guess is she'll get a second or third look by the committee.
So you may not be first, but this isn't a race. We've received one solid application, but there are plenty of scholarships to go around. And in the end, it is the quality of the application - not when it arrived to the office - that's important. I am looking forward to the weeks ahead when the inbox is pushed to overflowing with similarly great applications.
