Application deadline: April 5, 2024 [Apply Now!]( Feeling inspired to start applying for scholarships? Use these tips to boost your chances of securing one: 1. Find Opportunities That Fit You There are scholarships for nearly every characteristic you can think of, from having a passion for environmental issues to being left-handed (no joke!). Of course, when you closely fit the ideal candidate profile, you’ll have a better chance of being selected. So, think about the things that make you special, such as your ethnic background, life experiences, talents, passions, career goals, and more, and search for scholarships that fit them! 2. Pay Attention To Deadlines Most scholarships will have a specific date that you’ll need to apply by. No matter how many you’re applying to, it’s always best to keep track of those dates in a spreadsheet or your calendar (digital or IRL) so you don’t miss anything. 3. Show Off Your Personality & Passions There’s no one else like you, so don’t be afraid to show off what makes you unique (and amazing)! Let your passion, ambition, and personality shine through in your application materials. That way, judges will feel like they’re really getting to know the person behind the essay, questionnaire, or video — and feel confident that you’re the right fit. Authenticity is everything, besties! P.S. If a video submission is an option on a scholarship application, we say go for it! Video submissions are a great way to take your application to the next level and help judges see your personality shine first-hand! 4. Keep Applying Whether you’re just starting to send out scholarship applications, or you’ve been at it for a while, don’t give up. The more scholarships you apply to, the better your chances will be of securing one. You’ve got this!
