How to win it
Strong applicants clearly meet every requirement: colorado high school senior; cumulative unweighted gpa of 3.5+; pursuing a stem-focused degree or certification. This award asks for an essay, a transcript, so give those pieces real time rather than rushing them. Apply early and double-check the deadline, since local awards often have small applicant pools and reward the well-prepared.
