Begin by checking with your sorority president about possible scholarship opportunities offered to current students. Ask about alumni sponsored scholarships as well as national scholarships through the organization.
Check online by doing a general search for sorority scholarships to pull up scholarships offered through sororities. Check fraternitylive.com for inside information on specific scholarship and grant opportunities that is organized by chapter and region for easier navigation.
Perform well academically. If you are in the sorority for which you are applying for scholarship, then make sure you are involved in the sorority as they typically check with other sorority officers for active involvement. Pay your dues on time and stay in good standing with the organization to receive ample consideration for scholarships.
Fill out all scholarship application materials thoroughly. If you are not in the organization that sponsors the scholarship, your application will be your main source of representation. Find out if the scholarship is merit based or need based, since you may need to provide financial documentation to prove your need for the financial reward.
Check with the college or university financial aid office as sometimes scholarships are available which are not communicated to students or online. Be prepared to write essays for the scholarships. Be patient as reward decisions are usually somewhat delayed.
Focus your attention on academic or service based scholarships to help increase chances of award. Check with large scholarship and student excellence organizations like Kiwanis club or Panhellenic associations for more opportunities.
