Is it ever ok to more creative with scholarship application?

Paying for College

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>When a scholarshop application asks specific questions or requires multiple essays is it ever ok to meet all of the requirements and then add unrequested supplemental material? I’m thinking of something creative that showcases more of who I am - an edited DVD, graphic piece - something like that. Somthing that would support the written pieces in a more creative, individual way. Would it help, hurt or does it make it crap shoot?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>if the scholarship program is a large one that has a huge number of applicants, then i would recommend not sending it.
otherwise, it couldn’t hurt, and only if the piece supports your application.</p>

<p>Some applications specify that no extra items will be accepted. At least check the application before you send. If its a local scholarship, you can probably get away with it.</p>
