Tips on Getting Scholarships and Grants
- Don't rule yourself out. Scholarships are not limited to class valedictorians and star athletes. They are awarded based on a number of factors—from your career goals to exceptional writing skills displayed in an essay contest.
- Apply for as many awards as you qualify for. Even small awards can be helpful in covering costs, such as books.
- Pay close attention to deadlines. Missing a deadline is a sure way to become disqualified.
- Look everywhere for scholarships offered by a variety of sources, including companies, unions, foundations, community organizations, churches and more.
- Tell everybody you need help. Family, friends, teachers and others in your community are great resources because they may know something you do not.
- Understand the conditions of an award—such as maintaining a specific GPA or participating on an athletic team.
- Make use of free scholarship directories and searches offered by reputable organizations, such as The Sallie Mae Fund.
- If you receive a scholarship, be sure to write a thank-you note to the organization. You may want to reapply for the scholarship in the future so it is important to make a good impression.
