Complete the Albright College application for admission by the December 15 deadline and include the school report form, a copy of your high school transcripts, a recommendation letter from a high school teacher, and your ACT and SAT results.
Complete the Shirk Scholarship application, available online, by December 15 as well. Enter your personal information, including your first, middle and last name and the name of your high school, as well as your address, telephone, and email. Enter where you'll be living, on- or off-campus. Answer questions about the school and community activities you participated in from grades 9-12, including the hours per week and the weeks per year, as well as a short description of the roles you held. Answer questions about how you've served and demonstrated leadership, and what you believe are your greatest strengths. Explain how your academic record reflects the effort you put into your studies. Discuss whether you'd be willing to participate in the alternative spring break through the Albright College where you volunteer and give time to others.
Proofread your scholarship application and then submit it by pressing the "Submit Your Application" button on the bottom of the page. Remember you're being judged, so be sure your application doesn't contain any spelling errors or other miscues that could cause you to lose favor with reviewers.
Submit a letter from an adult--a volunteer coordinator, pastor or rabbi, club advisor or coach--who can speak to your participation in school or community activities. This is not a required step, but you're welcome to do it to potentially enhance your chances for being selected to receive a scholarship.
