Hello my name is Rachael Rhodes.

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.000
I am a senior studying communications at Western Oregon University. 

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.000
I'm here to take WOU-admitted students through a quick tutorial 

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
on how to apply for Western scholarships. 

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000
First lets go to your WOU Portal

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.000
and click on the scholarship icon on the upper right hand side. 

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.000
This is where you will go to review and apply for WOU scholarships. 

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.000
After you click on the icon you will see any applications you have in progress. 

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.000
When you click on the opportunities tab you can see the scholarships we have available. 

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Scholarship opportunities are listed alphabetically on this homepage. 

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000
You can also use the search bar to look for specific scholarships. 

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Right now let's go ahead and search for the diversity scholarship. 

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Click on the link and you're able to see a description of the scholarship 

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
and the scholarship criteria. 

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Let's go back to applications. 

00:00:59.000 --> 00:00:64.000
After you fill out your application remember to submit and finish the application.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.000
If any errors occurred they will show here. 

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.000
These errors will need to be addressed before you are able to submit your scholarship application. 

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.000

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.000

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.000
You can see some other key deadlines here. 

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:31.000
I hope this short tutorial helps you learn a little bit more about how to apply for scholarships here at Western.
