Classes, part-time jobs, sports involvement, the school play, student government, youth groups…life is crazy for many high school students, but that can be an advantage when it’s time to apply for scholarships and admission to college. Sure, academics are important, but colleges and scholarship donors also look at your extracurricular activities. That’s why it’s important to get involved.
But don’t join several activities just to pad your resume. It’s better to excel and take on a leadership role in a few activities. To help you keep track of your high school activities EducationQuest offers a free tool called the Activities Resume! This tool will help you track your extracurricular activities, honors and awards throughout high school. To get started go to http://www.educationquest.org/activities-resume/
