  • Make your application/essay personal. Talk about areas where you excel so that you only have to make small changes to the essay to relate to the topic or organization you are applying with.
  • Apply for scholarships that are relevant to you based on geographic location, qualifications, and hobbies.
  • Read all directions, complete the application in full, and be neat where you have to write by hand.
  • Private scholarship applications, amounts, and deadlines vary. 
  • Most scholarships must be renewed annually.
  • Apply for various award amounts. While the large payouts sound the best, $500 is still $500.
