If you don't yet feel any faculty know you well enough, make an appointment with some of the faculty whose courses you have taken, even if you don't know them personally, to talk to them about your plans and to see if they would be comfortable writing for you. Read the application instructions carefully to see which kind of references are required. If you have any questions, contact the National Scholarships Coordinator, the campus representative for that scholarship or fellowship, or the sponsoring organization directly. Make sure to give your recommenders as much time as possible before the application is due. It is possible that you will need to send transcripts with your application.
Some applications also require a photograph and a health certificate signed by a physician.
Gather these materials well in advance of the application deadlines. By appointment, the Health Center offers complete physical examinations and can provide certificates. If you are applying for a study abroad award, you will need to familiarize yourself with the academic system of the hosting institution you will be attending, which may differ from the U.S. system. The best way to get everything done is to know when the deadlines are and to give yourself, your recommenders, and university offices enough time to get what you need.
