If you are applying for a scholarship, get started early.

Check frequently until you’re sure transcripts have been mailed directly to Elizabeth Edgar Hall.

Four to six weeks ahead:
Request letters of recommendation. At least one letter must come from an official (teacher or administrator) at the school you are currently attending. Letters can be sent to Elizabeth Edgar Hall by the letter writer or you may include them with your completed application.
