Thousands of students WANT scholarships, but only those who put sufficient time, effort, and thought into them actually EARN a scholarship. Why do I say this NOW?
Apparently, the deadlines are what you are looking at. That’s not good. Seldom have winning essays been written in a few days, which is what MOST of the seniors are doing. It takes time...planning on your part, and NOT waiting until it is a holiday weekend to do them. That’s what has happened with the DELL Scholarship, even though the scholarship opened in OCTOBER. THIS IS NOT GOOD.
Again, WHY?
1) No one may be available to help you.
2) You run out of time.
3) You make careless mistakes (like not capitalizing the word I) or don’t adequately answer the questions.
When a scholarship OPENS, start on it then. Take care in completing the application thoroughly, and make sure that your application STANDS OUT.
To simply say you NEED a scholarship is not enough. You have to CONVINCE the scholarship committee of your worth. Let them see your effort, your drive, your purpose.
