I'm filling out scholarship forms and some of them are asking for my Common App ID. I've been through my profile, but can't seem to find where this number is located. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Hey there! I totally understand that filling out these forms can get a bit overwhelming with all the details you're asked to provide. Your Common App ID is a unique number the Common Application assigns to you, so scholarship organizations can match your application with your Common App details. Here's how you can find it:
After you log in to your Common Application account, look toward the top right corner of the screen. You should see your name. Click on your name to bring down a dropdown menu, where you'll see 'Dashboard' and 'Common App' among other things. Choose the 'Common App' tab.
Once there, you should be on the page with all your application details. Look for a section named 'Common App ID' - it's usually at the top right of the page. It should be a seven-digit number, and that's the ID you need for your scholarship forms! Make sure to keep a note of it for future reference. Best of luck with your scholarships!
