5 Scholarship Mistakes To Avoid

5 Scholarship Mistakes To Avoid

In this article, we will explore 5 most common mistakes I see with applications so that you can avoid making them.

 1. Not reading the instructions

This is a critical step. Making a mistake with the instructions could cost you your chance of getting a scholarship. Take the time to ensure you are eligible for the program you are applying to.

 2. Not completing the application properly

You must ensure that all required documents are provided and uploaded correctly. Missing important documents makes your application incomplete.

 3. Rushing through the application

Do not rush your application! Take the time to think through the questions and how you can showcase your story in each response.

 4. Missing deadlines

Deadlines can change. Always keep an eye on the deadlines so that you don’t miss that important date.

 5. Not being honest in your application

Fabricating aspects and details of your application puts you at risk of rejection, even after you have been selected. Ensure that your story is consistent, accurate and well-prepared.
