What does the application process involve?
The College Scholarship Program application is submitted using the Common App. You will complete the Common App general requirements, which include things like your contact information, the school you attend and your grades, and your activities and honors. You will also invite your school counselor and two teachers to submit recommendations through the Common App. Once you have created a Common App, add the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation as one of your “schools” to access the application questions that are specific to the College Scholarship Program. These will include:
- Eligibility
- Test score(s)
- Several short essays
- Extracurricular activities and honors
- Intended major
- Financial information, including the last three years’ Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for your household
