Welcome to the Culver City Community Scholarship Application!

Due Date: February 5th, 2025 at 11:59 PM

Please read these directions carefully and entirely before starting your application. In addition to reading these instructions, please watch the instructional video, found here: https://vimeo.com/485344996/db53b074c6.

This application is split up into 6 parts:

1. Applicant information
2. Applicant Questionnaire
3. Parent/Guardian Questionnaire
4. Media Release Agreement
5. Essay Questions
6. Recommender Information

The parent/guardian questionnaire and the media release agreement (unless the applicant is over 18) must be filled by a parent/guardian, NOT the applicant. 

 

All questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required. You will not be able to submit your application without answering them first. That being said, please answer every question you can (including those that aren't required) to get the best scholarship consideration possible. 

 

Saving: THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SAVE YOUR RESPONSES. If you would like to save your progress and continue working on your application later, please follow these steps to ensure that your progress isn't lost:

• Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Save"
• You will then be prompted to create an account with JotForm. Click the tiny blue words at the bottom of the window that say "Skip Create an Account"
• Enter your email address and click "send link"
• Before closing out of the application, check to make sure you received an email from JotForm. This email will contain a link to continue working on your application.
• When you want to return to the application, click on the link in the email that was sent to you. You may then continue working on your application.

Please note that you must follow this process everytime you save your work. Any progress that you make on the application after saving will be lost unless you save the form again.

 

Letters of Recommendation: At the very end of the application, you will be prompted to enter the names of your two recommenders (please click on the Recommender Information tab for more information). Once you submit your application, your recommenders will both be emailed with instructions on how to submit your letter. Remember to talk to ask your recommenders before entering their names on this application. Note: Your Recommenders will not be emailed until after your application is submitted. So even though the deadline for the application is February 5th, the deadline for letters of recommendation is March 5th. Your application will not be considered complete until all elements have been received, including your letters of recommendation.

 

Submission: Although this form is electronic, you must turn in a physical copy to be reviewed. Once you submit your application, you will be emailed a PDF attachment containing your response. Please out print this attachment, and use one of the following options to turn it in:

1. Drop it off at the Career Center, Room 14, with Ms. Abramson. There will be a box labeled scholarship applications.

To ensure that your application is received on time, please send in the physical copy immediately after submitting this online application.
