This project was possible through the support received from the Mary Gates Endowment for Students at the University of Washington. Without your support and guidance this project wouldn’t have been created. I would also like to thank my advisor and mentor Belinda Zintzun, Admissions Advisor from the University of Washington Bothell. Special thanks to Yuriana Garcia, University of Washington, for being a role model and one of my main supporters. Mil gracias to the incredible team of volunteers: Glenda Hernandez, Franklin High School; Jose Perez, Cleveland High School; and Helen Alarcon, University of Washington Bothell. Special recognition to our graphic design made possible by Jan Jimenez from FeedMyCollegeFund.

The Beyond Dreaming Scholarship Handbook has the following sections:
• Washington State Scholarships • Nation Wide Scholarships • Washington State Higher Education Institution Scholarship resources
The first two sections are organized by deadline from January to December. The third section is organized alphabetically. The only way to have a shot at winning scholarships is to apply for scholarships. You’ll hear it time and time again – apply early, and apply often. Here are some tips to apply for scholarships: Identify the right scholarships for you and check the requirements of the scholarship application. Make sure you qualify. Identify resources to help review your application. Most applications will ask for a combination of the following.
• Scholarship essay and/or Personal statement ‐ Always adapt your essay and personal statement to make sure you are answering what the application asks you and be prepared to find at least two people who can help you with reviewing the essays and personal statements.
• Letters of recommendation – Ask someone who knows you well at least two weeks in advance and follow-up. They should know your academic work and be aware of your commitments outside of school. We recommend that you always provide the person who will write your letter of recommendation a copy of your resume and transcript and any draft essays you have for the scholarship. The more information you give them, the better prepared they will be to write a great letter on your behalf!
• Transcript- Ask your counselor for an official transcript to submit with your application. If there has been a significant hardship that affected your transcript include a brief statement.
Plan ahead. Look ahead about three months for deadlines and update/confirm deadlines to ensure you apply in time. If a deadline or other important information is not posted, contact the organization and ask for missing information: • Hi. My name is _______ and I’m calling about the _____ scholarship. I’m interested in applying and would like more information. I would like
to know more information about: The deadline for submitting my application: _______________________ Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to submitting my application.
Save everything. Complete application requirements and save all of your written work on your computer. Revise. Revise. Revise! Review your essays, statements, and all written work before submitting. Always ask someone to read your application one more time before the final submission.
