This guide is here to support you through the scholarship process. After watching our video, you can explore our 10 essential tips.
Scholarship applications usually open at specific times of the year. Avoid the last-minute rush by creating a scholarship calendar and preparing your documents early.
Have you backed up your documents digitally? Did you add reminders to your calendar?
Each scholarship provider has different selection criteria. Don't waste time on scholarships that don’t match your profile—focus your energy on the right ones.
Did you read the eligibility criteria? Is it suitable for you?
Some scholarships require repayment or commitment to work for a specific institution. Applying without understanding the details might cause problems later.
Is there a repayment or work obligation? Is it related to your field?
If you can’t secure a scholarship, an education loan can be an alternative. But make sure you understand the repayment conditions.
Did you compare interest rates and repayment plans?
Consider your academic performance, extracurriculars, and financial need to decide which scholarships are most suitable for you.
Do you know your strengths?
Collect reference letters, transcripts, and ID copies without missing anything. Archive them as PDFs if needed.
Did you sort your files in digital folders?
Estimate your needs based on potential support from your family and part-time jobs. Be realistic and treat scholarships as support, not income.
Did you list your expenses and income sources?
Some applications are only open for a few weeks. Use calendar apps to stay on top of deadlines.
Have you set reminders? Is your calendar updated?
Keep copies of your documents on both your computer and cloud storage to prevent loss.
Do you have backups on Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.?
You may not get accepted for every scholarship. What matters is to understand why and keep trying.
Did you ask for feedback? Did you take notes for the next time?
