It is incredibly helpful. I'm sure I speak for many hopeful scholarship applicants when I say how much I appreciate you taking the time to share from your heart and experience. Seriously - thanks! Question about "Not sending info you weren't asked for..." - how do you recommend dealing w/ scholarships which ALLOW you to send extra material, but say it is "OPTIONAL"? This is extremely confusing. For example, the Carpe Diem Scholarship http://www.carpediemfoundation.org is based upon Community Service. Yet they say if you'd like (optional), you may send dvds w/ drama performances, art portfolios, poetry, etc. I am confused. I actually DO have poetry and drama performances I COULD send - but these are not my strong suit - that is, I am definitely NOT some art prot Hi Josh – I am so grateful for ALL your GREAT tips and advice!
