📘 De Jure Legacy Scholarship Starter Guide

This guide is here to remind you: money is out there, and your story matters. Scholarships aren't just for 'perfect' students — they're for bold ones. Let's get started.

3–5 fast tips to set students up for scholarship success:

• Start early — and stay organized. Use a calendar or app to track due dates.

• Reuse your best essays. Save personal statements and tweak as needed.

• Apply even if you’re unsure. You miss 100% of the scholarships you don’t apply for.

• Look local first. Community orgs and state programs are often less competitive.

• Ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone . Build a support team.
