*Letters of Recommendations are not required but are strongly recommended.
2. One Student Profile; multiple nation-wide opportunities for scholarships.

And Scholarship America works with partners to add new scholarships to the program, so any time your profile matches the criteria for a new scholarship, no matter who or where it is, you will be able to apply to it with just a few clicks! This means, in addition to over 100 local scholarships you apply for through Jefferson Dollars for Scholars, now it's 1,000s.
3. Much more than applying for scholarships! Have free access to a wealth of financial aid information and resources! And when you're finally in college, come back and get some success tools and additional information for staying debt-free! Your Student Profile and the Student Dashboard is an invaluable tool.
