Tips for students not selected in previous years:

If you are eligible, APPLY AGAIN. Increase your community and school involvement through service (giving of yourself without anything in return). Seek out leadership positions. Be a leader in the classroom. Make sure to fill out your application COMPLETELY. List all organizations, list leadership positions, list hours involved, explain what the organization does if it is community organization.
