--Read everything carefully.
--Follow the criteria to the letter.
--Make special note of the deadline for application.
--Proofread your submissions for spelling, grammar and punctuation.
--Where GPA is required, the overall GPA is needed (not individual semesters or
program-specific GPA’s).
--Provide supporting documentation where requested including the appropriate number of copies.
--Use a highlighter or make yourself a checklist to ensure that you have satisfied all of the required information/deadlines.
--Be explicit in your letter of interest.
--Identify from whom the letters of recommendation (e.g, personal letters should be clearly identified as such and address personal characteristics/traits; professional letters should address work history, work ethics, work experience, professional attributes) are coming if it is not apparent by the letterhead or the individual’s title.
--When in doubt, call RID to request clarification. RID is committed to providing scholarships/awards to qualified individuals.
