Seek out volunteer opportunities in your community that you can add to your scholarship application. Look within schools, non-profit agencies, medical facilities, and animal shelters.
Look for opportunities that are relevant to the type of scholarship that you are applying for. For example, a nursing home if you are looking for a scholarship to become a caregiver or LPN.
Record all of your volunteer work formally so that you can reference the organization, duties, and dates worked on each scholarship application.
Fill out scholarship applications, taking care to mention your volunteer work experiences.
Ask for letters of reference from the people you volunteer for; this will also help you get scholarships later on down the road.
Apply for volunteer scholarships-that's right, there are specific scholarships meant for people who are willing to donate their attention and time.
