A Few Do And Don’t Strategies for Scholarship Application Procedures
DO
► Confirm
when is the best
time for you to
apply for free
money for
college. Some
only allow
applications.
Once you have
been accepted,
the basic rule
otherwise is the
sooner the
better, not
waiting until the
deadlines or
being last in
line, or rather
making the most
of the first
come, first serve
principle.
► Even
if you haven’t,
or even once you
have decided on
your course,
location and
duration of your
study, there is
NO TIME LIKE THE
PRESENT FOR YOU
TO APPLY FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS! So
get started right
away if you
haven’t as yet.
► Try to make sure that you study and read all the information which
is provided and available on individual scholarships. Try to pay close attention to
details, eligibility, criteria as well as other requirements, or even documentation that might have
to be included in your application package and process.
► Try to apply for ones for which you are eligible and don’t waste your time and effort on ones which are irrelevant. That having been said, try to apply for as many appropriate and relevant ones you possibly can in order to maximize your rewards.
► Always attach the relevant papers only and keep your supporting documents to a strict minimum. The quantity of documents that you send won’t give you any edge or any advantage. Send JUST WHAT IS REQUIRED and not any more.
► Always be brief, concise and most precise in your expression and packages that you submit. For international or foreign students: It is strongly recommended to always attach translations where supporting documents are in any other language but English.
► Try to match the scholarships to you need and be patient and persistent, diligent and follow-up (even with a thank you once you have received confirmation of your selection for a nice touch).
