The foundation will be able to tell the student didn't do it and it will jeopardize her getting any money. THEY CAN TELL!!! Tip Number 2: Be sure you include with the application ALL attachments required in the SAME envillope. I would NOT send them separately or ask someone else to send them (like a high school). You would be amazed how many scholarship apps get tossed because they are not complete. Don't "ASSUME" they have her/his transcripts, test scores, whatever, because they DON'T unless you attach it to the application. Tip Number 3: If the student isn't motivated enough to fill out her own scholarship applications, then she probably isn't motivated enough to actually complete the semester or a college degree program in general. Trust me, learn and understand this now, so you aren't stuck with HUGE amount of Parent loans and a child who (after completing her first two years or so) has decided to get married instead and pop out babies.<br><b>References : </b><br> Tip Number 1:
