<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings Phi U Collegiate and Alumni in Region 1 –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the university winter breaks are getting underway, I thought it would be a good time to encourage Collegiate members to prepare application packets for the Phi U Scholarships, Fellowships, and Awards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I’m sure you know, the link to access instructions and the online application can be found on the website
<a href="http://phiu.org">http://phiu.org</a>. Password to the website is <b>college10</b>; password to the Scholarships/Awards/Fellowships is
<b>SFA2019</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I encourage you to watch the webinar for great insight about preparing the applications:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:15.0pt;color:#7030A0"><a href="https://unl.box.com/s/10vx3k99t02s326uq4bfsimpi0rjb8me"><span style="color:#7030A0">https://unl.box.com/s/10vx3k99t02s326uq4bfsimpi0rjb8me</span></a>
</span><span style="color:#7030A0"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For everyone’s convenience, I have created a PDF with the Application information – please use this as reference (and fill in correct info for your unit and university), preparing your information is WORD then copying and pasting into the
application is a very good strategy so that you can complete the online work all in one sitting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, I have created a document with the Scholarships, Fellowships, and Awards listed, so you can look through all of the opportunities and apply for those that fit your credentials and status. Here are 4 ‘easy’ steps to take to
ensure a high quality application by February 1, 2019:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Step 1: <strong>Order an official transcript</strong> from your university, noting to send after Fall 2018 grades are posted.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Step 2: <strong>Ask three people</strong> (advisor/employers/faculty) to serve as references for you and write a letter of recommendation for you to receive a Phi U Scholarship. [Look at the requirements for the scholarships and awards and tell your references
what to address in their letters]. The requirements are for the letters to be put in business size envelopes, sealed, with the writer's signature over the seal line.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Step 3: <strong>Review the PDF of the Application information</strong> (attached). Write your information in a WORD document, then when you have everything done, copy and paste it into the online application (found at phiu.org), print the application, and
have your Phi U chapter advisor sign it. -- then it will be ready for submission via the ‘snail’ mail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Step 4: <strong>Review your entire application package with your Phi U Chapter advisor prior to February 1</strong> so that s/he can confirm it is 'good to go' !<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>NOTE: if you apply for BOTH scholarships and awards - you need to do two separate applications and submit two separate file folders (so order 2 transcripts and ask references to make 2 copies of their letters of recommendation).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy holidays!<o:p></o:p></p>
