Many scholarships will still request your social security number. Please do NOT write your full number on the application. For now, you can write xxx-xx-2537--ONLY the last four digits or use your student ID number.
Identity theft has become a very big business and you don't want to make it easy for your identity to be stolen. So, any of the personal documents that I mention in the textbook are to be kept in a very safe place at home. There will be only one time that you need to have them in your portfolio, and that is at the end of the semester when I check your work.
Whenever I have seen a scholarship application that requires a social security number, I have made contact with the organization and requested that they accept either the last four digits or a student ID number. All of the organizations have been very cooperative.
Please, please, be super careful
