Work, Community Involvement & Extracurricular Activities

The Person County Education Foundation utilizes a Work, Community Involvement and Extracurricular Activities Form for students to provide details about time spent outside of school.  You are encouraged to be detailed and may add additional rows as needed. 

Do not be discouraged if there are sections you cannot complete. Each scholarship considers different traits and you may be the perfect candidate for one of these scholarships.  The scholarship committee recognizes that not all applicants are interested or involved equally in all these areas and respects these individual differences. 
​
Show you are well-rounded. List all your extra-curricular activities in school, church, and the community. Include clubs, sports teams, music groups, and volunteer work. Leadership positions should always be mentioned. Share any honors or awards you have received.  It isn’t considered bragging if you’re being honest about your achievements! ​

FORM TIPS:

• Emphasize activities that show your talents and passions, especially things that demonstrate your ability to lead, take initiative, persist through adversity, and care for your community.

• Use brief but descriptive phrases to describe your experiences, focusing on your skills and accomplishments. 

• Talk to your family and friends. Do they remember any activities you have been involved in that you are not thinking of?

• Don’t underestimate yourself—employment and family responsibilities can say a lot in your favor as well.
