Tips for a successful application
- Make sure you are eligible (read the eligibility criteria).
- Take time to provide meaningful responses to all of the questions being asked.
- Draft responses to essay questions and have someone else proofread them before you submit them, checking the following components:
- Have you addressed the question while also authentically conveying why you should receive scholarship support?
- Have you structured your response using clear, concise, and organized writing?
- Have you checked spelling and grammar?
- If the application requires a letter of recommendation or the name of someone who can provide a recommendation, give your recommender a heads up and give them plenty of time to prepare a recommendation. Give them information about the scholarship you’re applying for, including the deadline. Don’t forget to let them know if you are awarded a scholarship and share your appreciation for their time.
