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. |
