Transcript Requests for Scholarships
Scholarships will often ask for transcripts. Sometimes they will accept an unofficial copy, while other times it must be official. Below, you will find the differences between these two transcript types and how to go about requesting/obtaining them.
Official Transcript - signed, dated, stamped, sealed, and sent by a school official; remains official only when sealed and/or submitted directly by the school. If a scholarship requires an official transcript, you must submit the application and all supplemental documentation to the Counseling Office at least ONE WEEK prior to the scholarship's deadline - this is to ensure we can process your documentation in a timely manner. We typically will backdate a scholarships due date on the bulletin below if the scholarship requires an official transcript. Once all materials are submitted to us, office staff will then complete an official transcript and submit everything to the scholarship on your behalf.
Unofficial Transcript - unsigned, undated, unstamped, and unsealed; not required to be submitted directly by the school. Current students can obtain updated transcript copies in their student Sapphire portal. Any scholarship not requiring an official transcript can be submitted by the student unless otherwise indicated in the scholarship's requirements.
