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.
