So my dumb self who been reading the instructions to this scholarship multiple times for a few days now, contacted the people who's hosting it on whether or not you need a transcript of your GPA. And after i already sent the email I looked back at the instructions where it states you do need evidence.. I feel so dumb and I feel I lowered my chances of getting this scholarship... It's a real easy 200 word essay! Did I really blow it by making me look dumb? Or do you think it's still worth doing?

Remember that the people who receive the first mass of applications to anything are usually clerks, not the ones who review them in depth. Filtering is necessary to avoid wasting valuable time.
Everybody makes mistakes & omissions, and as kb indicated it's likely not irreversible if you catch them early (with regards to organisations, at least).
