Requirements for Scholarship Application

• Scholarship Application

• Transcripts from the applicant’s current school

  • External applicants will submit transcripts as part of the admissions application process

  • Transcripts for internal ISCreson applicants will be provided to the Scholarship Committee by ISCreson.

• Two Academic Letters of Recommendation

  • External Applicants: In the admissions application process, external applicants will provide names and email addresses for specific academic recommendations including those from a math teacher, English teacher, counselor, and principal. If you would like your scholarship recommendations to come from people other than these specific teachers and administrators, you will be asked to provide the appropriate names and email address of the teachers in the Scholarship Application and ISCreson will reach out to those teachers for the letters of recommendation.
  • Internal ISCreson Applicants will be asked in the Scholarship Application to provide names and email addresses of teachers who will be providing recommendations and ISCreson will reach out to those teachers for the letters of recommendation

• One Character Letter of Recommendation

  • This recommendation should come from someone who knows you well outside of academics - a coach, mentor, community leader, or family friend who can speak to your character and values. All applicants will be asked to provide the name and email address of the reference and ISCreson will reach out to obtain the letter of recommendation

• Portfolio (Examples) of academic, leadership, and/or creative work

  • The portfolio is an opportunity to showcase your talents, passions, and accomplishments in a way that goes beyond grades and test scores. Whether it's a research project you're proud of, artwork that expresses your creativity, documentation of a community service initiative, or evidence of skills you've developed, we want to see what makes you stand out as a learner. Select 3 – 5 examples that best represent your strengths and interests. This can be presented in a variety of formats including video, audio, presentation, physical examples, etc. Please submit your portfolio materials to financialassistance@iscreson.com by January 15, 2026.
