I am applying for a scholarship and it requests an “academic resume”. What is an “academic resume” and what information should I include?

An “academic resume” depicts your academic work history, so to speak. The main features should include your contact information, education (type of diploma, GPA, rank, if above top 25% in your class), work experience (if you have held a paying job), athletic experience (any involvement in school or club sports), community service (any non-paid volunteer work both on and off campus), honors and awards (academic, athletic, personal), academic skills (include any honors classes, bilingual, etc.), and references. All information should be within the timeframe of freshman to senior year. You will not want to include information from junior high school or elementary school UNLESS you began working with a community service organization during that time and you are still actively working with that same organization.
