Scholarship Strategies

• Some scholarships consider financial need (Quantify if possible)

• Most scholarships consider merit (GPA) – High GPA in easy classes is discounted

• Make a good impression on all your professors (Participate in class; stop by their office, etc.)

• Read the scholarship requirements carefully. (Don’t apply if you don’t qualify.)

• Pay attention to spelling and grammar.

• Send a thank you note to the donor
