SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION TIPS AND TRICKS • • • • • • • •
Confirm you are eligible for the scholarship and meet all criteria. If you’re not sure, ask! Contact the organisation to make sure all the information is accurate. Prepare in advance and give yourself enough time to complete the application. Read the instructions very carefully. One small error can eliminate your application! Take note of the due date. Does the application need to be received by the date or only post-marked (in the post office by the date)? Use a black pen, unless otherwise specified. Do a practice/rough copy before completing the real application. Write a generic 500-word personal statement outlining your goals, achievements, academic and career plans. Most scholarships require a letter or essay of some form. If you have a generic one completed, all you have to do is modify it to satisfy the criteria of the scholarship you are applying for!
• •
• • • • •
•
Update your personal statement, cover letter and resume as you gain new experiences so it’s always ready to go. When writing, be yourself and be honest! Try to set yourself apart from others. Don't just list your accomplishments or activities. Explain them and demonstrate why they make you more qualified and deserving. You got this! Proofread 3 times and then send it to a friend to proofread again! Ask a professional (e.g. teacher, coach, or employer) to provide a good reference. Give your references enough time to prepare the reference letters. If possible, ask for the letters to be printed on letterhead. Order a sufficient amount of transcripts, especially before the school year ends. Always have enough stamps and envelopes ready to go. Check at the post office. You can also find out if you're able to submit your application online! Know that you are important and worthy regardless of the outcome of your scholarship application or your grades!
