Tips for success:
Be early and be organized.
Use a calendar to track deadlines and submission requirements; most top scholarships open by summer and close before the year ends.
Don’t duplicate your application.
Avoid submitting identical applications to multiple scholarships. Scholarship reviewers can tell if you’ve used a stock application. Make sure each application is tailored to the organization to which you are applying.
Demonstrate impact over activities.
Given the high competition, you’ll want to demonstrate your impact and explain why you should get the scholarship.
Make sure you have the right references.
Choose someone who will really showcase what you have to offer.
Proofreading is key.
Review applications thoroughly and ask someone you trust to check for errors and clarity.
