Scholarship application tips

When applying for donor-funded private scholarships ...

Apply close to home:local community foundations and the colleges that have admitted students have fewer applicants than national search engines and your students are a better candidate for their awards.
Plan ahead: ask for letters of recommendation and write essays before your students need them. Tell students to mark their calendar with deadlines now for the next three years so that they remember to apply every year!
Letters of Recommendation: Students should ask someone who has seen them overcome an obstacle or struggle to earn a good grade to write the letter. That recommender can tell a story of achievement and perseverance that reviewers will appreciate more.
Essays: Topics vary, but the majority boil down to this, “Why am I deserving?” and one well-written paragraph on each of the following will go a long way to answering that question:
- Academic achievements and awards
- Extracurricular involvement
- Examples of service and leadership
- Unique obstacles that the student has overcome
Students should not be afraid to sing their own praises; this is not the time for modesty! Once their essay is written, save it and recycle it for multiple scholarships. Then, update it each year with new examples!
