An
academic transcript is an official record of all your grades
from high school or college. It is not the same as your report
card. If you attended more than one school, you will need to
request a transcript from each school. In order to save yourself
some time, order several transcripts from your school and place
them in a clean envelope/folder. Some colleges charge their
students a fee to fulfill their request for a transcript.
It is important that you follow the application’s instructions
about how to submit your transcript. Some scholarship providers
prefer to have the transcript mailed directly to them, while
others like to have it included with the completed scholarship
application package.
•
If you are instructed to
have your school mail the transcript directly to the scholarship
provider, it is also important to provide your school
with the correct mailing address and to make sure they
mailed it, and that the scholarship provider received
it.
•
If you are instructed to include your
transcript with your application, do not open or tamper
with the sealed envelope the transcript come in, or the
scholarship provider may not accept the transcript.
