Increase your
scholarship odds
(Family Features) — While
there is no way to guarantee
a scholarship to help offset
the costs of higher education,
there are things you can do to
increase your odds of getting
noticed by admissions departments
and those who award
scholarships.
Before sending in your application,
consider these tips:
Get involved
Students who are involved
in extracurricular activities,
such as volunteer causes,
sports, clubs or student
government, often give
themselves a leg up on the
competition when achievements
in the classroom are
similar.
Apply early
A good rule of thumb is to
not wait until the due date to
submit your application and
other materials.
Issues out of your control
can arise, such as a website
malfunction or a recommendation
letter that hasn’t been
submitted.
Look professional
Ensure your online presence
matches the persona your
application depicts.
As more college admissions
departments, employers and
scholarship committees are
researching candidates online,
be sure to clear your social
media accounts of any inappropriate
or unprofessional
material.
Proofread
Read back through your
scholarship application and
your essay a few times once
you’re finished to ensure
everything looks and sounds
as you intended.
