What are things I can do to help insure a scholarship?

Question

I got all A's last year except for a B which was in high school geometry which I took wit out algebra. I also play volleyball and I volunteer a lot and I am also being an assistant coach for a soccer team of 5-6 year old's.

Answer 1

JUST KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, my sister was just like you but in the last year she messed up so what you have to do is just do what your doing right now throughout your years in school and you should get a lot of scholarships.

Answer 2

Congratulations on your achievements so far!  Just keep the grades up--a couple of B's here and there generally won't hurt you at all.  A 3.5 GPA or higher will meet the GPA requirements of most scholarships.  Continue with the extracurricular activities; they always look good.  Treat your teachers with respect--they write the letters of recommendation that some scholarships require.  You don't have to be a teacher's pet, but don't be rude to them on a consistent basis, either.  

Also, familiarize yourself with what scholarships are available.  You won't need to do this right away; you can wait until 11th grade for this.  There are many free scholarship search service available online, there are books at your library or bookstore, and your high school's guidance office is usually a good resource as well.  The more scholarships that you apply for, the more you can receive.

Best of luck with your studies!
