Many of the scholarships that I try to apply to ask for proof of enrollment for the fall. How do I get around this if I want to start applying now?

If you’re required to show you’ve been enrolled, but you don’t have an admissions letter yet, many scholarship admins will let you use a proof of acceptance instead, meaning the email or letter you got from the school saying you can have admission if you want it. Failing that, you can reach out to the scholarship admin and explain that you don’t have the proof yet, and you may be able to work something out.
