When applying for scholarships it is helpful to include an academic resume. An academic resume highlights your academic achievement and school and community involvement. So how do you create an academic resume? Follow these tips:
1. Objective: (list the major and/or career that you intend to pursue)
2. School: (list your high school name and location, anticipated graduation date, class rank and G.P.A., and include a statement if you are receiving a specialized high school diploma such as a College Preparatory Certificate)
3. Coursework: (list any honors or A.P. classes, foreign language classes, computer classes, and technical/career education classes)
4. Activities: (list all school and community activities, and any offices that you might have held. If you have many activities, you may need to divide this section into two parts; school activities and community activities)
5. Honors and Awards: (list any honors and awards received at school and in the community).
6. References: (list at least three references; at least one should be a teacher whom you have worked closely with. The others can be mentors in the community)
An academic resume is also a beneficial wealth of information to give to a person who is writing a recommendation letter for you. It reminds this person of all of your activities and accomplishments which he or she may refer to in the recommendation letter.

A timely blog. In these difficult economic times of uncertainty many may fail to invest in education. Education always has the greatest 'yield' on investment - regardless of the state of the economy! I trust that families continue to make this investment in their youth.
