Potenue Roadmap: 3 Tips to Win
- Check the HACU List: For the Denny’s scholarship, your school must be a member. Double-check the official list before you start your essay.
- Focus on “The Gap”: For the ASHFoundation, don’t just talk about your studies. Talk about the unmet needs in the community you want to serve (e.g., bilingual therapy or rural access).
- Transcripts Early: Universities can be slow. Request your official transcripts for the May 20 deadline today to avoid last-minute stress.
