Some scholarship application have many parts, eg. your cover letter, completed application, resume, transcript, letter of recommendation, FAFSA report, a photograph and the essay(s). Are you suggesting to keep all the other documents lose/stapled and to place the essay(s) separate in this "high-quality folder"? Please clarify further. Thank you. Josh, additional explanation would be appreciated here.

I saw some professional, laminated/glossy twin-pocket folders at Office Depot. They are high in quality and you can tell they are not "cheap-o's" when you see them in person. In store, they go for $11.99 for a 10-pack or $9.99 online. Here's the link: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/433490/Office-Depot-Brand-Laminated-Twin-Pocket/ I recommend the black folders as they may be more appropriate for a scholarship application.

Also, in terms of keeping papers together, is it better to staple or paper clip multiple sheets together if there are no instructions saying otherwise?

I guess scholarship committees and art juries aren't quite the same ballpark.

I think it will be very helpful with all of the scholarships I am trying to apply for. I have a question though. You say to use the folders. Do you recommend using or not using certain colors?
