Tips On Filling Out Your Application

When you fill out an application for Girls State there are two different formats for this form. You may print the PDF format of this document and fill it out by hand. You may also open the Word format of the application and fill it in on your computer.

For this document I created a table and removed the outlines. When you use this document do not change the format. We would like the applications to stay close to two pages and not exceed four pages. If you have any questions about using this document please email us.

Please keep in mind the following while you fill out your application:

• Keep your handwriting neat and in blue or black ink.
• Under each question, when appropriate, use bullets to make an easy-to-read list.
• Use complete sentences with appropriate spelling, punctuation and grammar.
• List years participated in activities, work experiences, awards etc and only list items from 9th grade to your current age.
• Be thorough AND concise. We only know what you've done the last three years if you have it listed. If you don't, we have no idea. Remember that our judges will need to read through all of the applications the day of interviewing (Wednesday, March 3, 2010).
