Tips for Applying
- Apply for as many scholarships as possible. The more scholarships you can apply the higher the chances you are to receive a scholarship. Even if the award is small, still apply.
- Have a general essay ready. Most scholarships require you to submit an essay to give them some background information on you and to see why you are the best candidate for their scholarship. You can edit the general essay to fit the individual applications. It is also a good idea to have a trusted friend, counselor, or tutor give you some feedback on your essay.
- Stay organized. You may want to use your Outlook calendar to set up reminders on when applications are due so that you meet the deadline.
- Be aware of scams. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scams out there when it comes to scholarships. You should never pay for a scholarship application. You should not give your bank account number or debit/credit card information out. If the application is asking for these things it is usually an indication that it is a scam. You need to research the scholarship to ensure it is a legitimate scholarship before applying.
