<p>I recently received an award for leadership and my parents want to make a copy of it to send to colleges. Is this the right protocol to take? Seems kind of tacky to me ... how else can I present this information?</p>
<p>I was also featured in a newspaper. Should I send the article in also?</p>
<p>One does not send the award - original or copy - to a college - you may put/mention it on your application or send an adendum/note to the college stating that you received such and such an award - and you don't send the article either - tho you could mention it in the same adendum/note</p>
