Check your Sinclair email inbox for updates once you\u2019re done applying.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also \u201cExternal Scholarship Resources\u201d and \u201cOther Scholarship Resources\u201d links on www.sinclair.edu\/scholarships that provide direct links to scholarships available from outside organizations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those listings update constantly, so check those every 2-3 weeks. Students who win an external scholarship would have checks sent to Sinclair\u2019s Bursar Office so funds can be applied to their account.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, the Sinclair Library has a webpage with tips on writing scholarship essays, and students can access it right from www.sinclair.edu\/scholarships by clicking the \u201cScholarship Essay Tips\u201d link to the left. That way, students like Justin can minimize his steps to apply for scholarships while maximizing the number of applications he submits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Katherine Gonzalez<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial Aid Officer<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor I recently saw a very cute article in The Clarion by Justin Baker called, \u201cJustin A.
