TOP TEN SCHOLARSHIP TIPS
Ever wonder what the folks who award the scholarships want to see? FinAid and FastWeb have polled scholarship providers across the country asking for their tips on applying for scholarships.
Tip 1: Give concrete examples.
If your answer to an essay question is abstract, support it with a concrete example that illustrates your point. The scholarship sponsor wants to see evidence that you satisfy their criteria, not just unsupported statements.
Tip 2: Apply only if you are eligible.
Read all the scholarship requirements and directions carefully, and make sure that you are eligible before you send in your application. Your application will not be considered if you are not qualified to apply.
Tip 3: Identify the sponsor’s goals.
Try to understand the sponsor’s motivation in offering the award. Do they want to promote interest in their field? Do they want to identify promising future researchers and business leaders? If you can identify their goals, you can direct your application toward satisfying those goals, increasing your chances of winning the award.
Tip 4: Complete the application in full and follow directions.
Many students fail to follow directions. You can give yourself a competitive advantage by reading the directions carefully.
Provide everything that is required. But do not supply things that are not requested. You will not impress and you might be disqualified.
Be sure to complete the entire application. If a question does not apply, note that on the application. Do not just leave it blank.
