THE PERSONAL STATEMENT

Your Personal Statement is an important part of your CCSF scholarship application. It is your opportunity to stand out as an individual. The following information is provided to assist you in preparing your personal statement.

SOME WORDS OF ADVICE

Don't use odd or creative fonts on your application or personal statement. Make the documents easy to read and let the information speak for itself.


Give yourself plenty of time to check your work. Plan to show your Personal Statement and Application to a trusted friend or faculty member. Avoid getting feed back from too many people ,as it can be confusing and sometimes discouraging.

Give Yourself Plenty of Time!
