General Scholarship Tips:

· Remember, due to limited funding, not all applicants receive scholarships. The process is
competitive, and you should be careful and thorough when filling out your application to give
yourself the best possible advantage.
· If you were not selected in the past years, re-evaluate your qualifications and application
package. Be certain that you make academic progress in the next term, earn the highest GPA
possible, and make any necessary adjustments in your application process, then reapply next
year.
· Do not assume that because you have received a scholarship previously, that you will
automatically receive another award. Some students make the error of assuming that they will
not have to be as careful filling out their application package and writing their personal statement
when applying the second or even third time around. Be aware that there are always new
students competing for awards. You must present a high quality package every time you apply
for a scholarship.
· Talk to scholarship recipients to get their advice on the application process, scholarship search
process, etc.
