• We have an organization in our county that does a college and career fair and we have a big display there with guidebooks and one-sheet helpful hints as well as a timeline for the scholarship process. We have never found a good way to work with colleges. However, we do send an email to everyone in SLM who hasn't graduated…

• So, how do you deal with size restriction issues on videos? We just got a scholarship that is insisting it be a video "essay" no more than 10 minutes. A 10 minute video would be huge. Anyone run into file size issues?

• Our grant reports are specific to the cycle. We try really hard to only ask questions that will be relevant for our review of the nonprofit's use of funds and not a lot of extra questions that we don't really want to know or will read.
