Create a Scholarship Email

Once you start completing profiles for scholarships, you will be inundated with emails from banks trying to convince you that you need a loan and colleges wanting you to apply to their college or university.  A designated scholarship email will provide you with a filter.

When you create your new email, be sure that you select an appropriate name for your site -- it should be professional.  Although your personal email may be cute and funny, you don't want to give out information that shows you in a negative light.  Something like sober4@gmail.com might work against you when you are competing for a scholarship award.

Use something simple like firstname.lastname#227@gmail.com.  Give it some thought.
