Scholarship Application Tips

• 1. Read the regulations and find out what is needed

     • They tell you what the Selection Committee will be looking for and whether you are eligible. You may be surprised that you are actually eligible!

     • If referees, other checks, documentation is needed, you need to ensure you have enough time to ask and prepare

  2. Start your application early
     You can save and come back to it later if you need to do more research.

  3. Talk to your referees
     It is important they know to expect a request from the scholarship provider (which will have a deadline).

  4. Submit your application by the deadline
     This date is not flexible

  5. Sell yourself
     Scholarships are highly competitive, so make the most of the word limit in open ended questions. This is an opportunity to tell the committee why you deserve the scholarship

  6. Apply for all the scholarships you are eligible for
     Many scholarships allow you to hold more than one at a time

  7. ASK!

If you get stuck or unsure of the application process, questions asked - ask for help. Most providers will be happy to answer your questions to ensure you give it your best shot.
