Almost all major scholarships are highly competitive. As a result, it is important for your application packet to stand out. Follow these seven tips and it will.
1. Type, don’t handwrite. A typed application always looks more professional.
2. When asked for references, get them from folks who know your academic potential and personal strengths. Letters from neighbors, family friends, etc. are not what most scholarship committees want.
3. Neatness and organization count. Everything you submit should be neat and well organized.
4. Provide all requested information. Don’t be verbose, but do be thorough and complete.
5. Get everything in at least ten days before the deadline. It will make you appear responsible and ambitious.
6. Attach all documents together with a large paper clip. Do not use staples. Put everything in an attractive, well constructed folder.
7. Put the folder in a large envelope so your scholarship materials will arrive undamaged.
Obviously, you’ll need more than attractively packaged documents to win scholarships. But, do not underestimate the boost an attractive, well organized scholarship application packet can give you.
