Winning scholarships is extremely beneficial when the time comes to pay for college—make the most of your time and increase your odds by following these tips for successfully securing scholarships.
When building a list of scholarships, rank them in order of importance using factors like due date, fit, and prize amount. This will allow you to direct your attention to the most pressing awards and focus your energy on the awards you have the best chance of winning.
2. Balance Quantity & Quality
The more scholarships you apply to, the better your odds are of winning one. However, don’t sacrifice the quality of your applications in the name of speed. Take your time, follow the directions, answer every question, and proofread.
3. Work Smarter, Not Harder
Applying for numerous scholarships is a lot of work, especially if each one involves writing an essay. In many cases, with some slight tweaks, you can use the same essay to apply for multiple awards. Just make sure the essay fits the question and stays within the word count.
4. Create a Scholarship Schedule
Block off time in your calendar to apply for scholarships. Even just a few hours a week devoted to finding and applying for scholarships add up, especially if you start as a sophomore! Think of this time as a part-time job that will pay off when it’s time to head to campus.
5. Apply Early
Just because a scholarship’s application period ends at 11:59:59 PM ET on a given date doesn’t mean you have to wait until that day to apply. Applying early lowers the chances of getting sabotaged by technology, like a website crash or an internet outage. It also means you won’t be scrambling to finish the application at the last minute.
NEVER PAY TO APPLY FOR A SCHOLARSHIP!
Please visit your college of your choice website for the many scholarships that are available and specific to that entity.
