WHAT DO SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEES LOOK FOR?

SCHOLARSHIP RULE-FOLLOWERS

Scholarship committees review every application to ensure that the student follows the rules along the way. If a student doesn’t follow, immediate disqualification is the norm.

SOLID WRITING SKILLS

Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation are essential. Otherwise, the scholarship selection committee may worry that your student lacks attention to detail.

A COHESIVE NARRATIVE

Along with remaining focused on the main point, each paragraph needs to flow logically to the next. That way, all of the information clearly connects to what proceeded it, making it easier to follow.

SCHOLARSHIP-RELATED CHARACTERISTICS AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

For instance, confidence, passion, and dedication are widely sought since they significantly impact a student’s college success odds. 

STRONG LEVEL OF SELF-AWARENESS

When a student shows the scholarship committee that they understand their strengths and weaknesses, it’s a decent indicator that they do well in this arena.

CLEAR PASSION FOR THEIR FUTURES

If a student wants to impress the scholarship committee, demonstrating a clear passion for the field they’re pursuing, and their long-term career goals makes a significant difference.
