When I was doing my own personal scholarship research that helped my son win so many scholarships, I quickly realized how important it was to get into the mind of the scholarship judges and find out what they were looking for in choosing a winner.
What I learned is found in my scholarship guide, but here is a little taste:
Judges love to hear about how a scholarship applicant has faced a major hurdle or challenge in his or her life, but it is HOW they overcome this challenge that really helps them win a scholarship. Let's face it, we've all had our own personal challenges, no matter how big or small they may be. Scholarship judges don't just want to know that you have had a challenge, but EXACTLY what you did, how you felt, what you learned along the way, and the outcome of your challenge.
Let's look at the beginning of two different scholarship essays that are answering the question, "Why I deserve to win this scholarship:
1. I deserve to win this scholarship because a few years ago I was very sick but somehow survived and now I need the money to go to college. (yada, yada, yada....)
2. I can still remember the smell of the hallway as my mom and dad said goodbye as the nurses wheeled me away and into surgery. The questions floated around my semi-induced sleepy state of mind and again I wondered why I had to be the one to be diagnosed with leukemia. It seemed like my life had turned into one painful fight after another, but slowly I could feel myself getting stronger and my will to live and overcome the unfairness of my situation started to change me.........
Can you see the difference between the two? Can you FEEL the difference? I can! Put your heart and soul into your scholarship application essays! Don't skim over important details of your life. The judges want to know YOU and not just your name on the application.
I could go on and on here, but I won't.
You need to read my scholarship guide to find out other ways to get into the minds of the scholarship judges. I found out and would like to share them with you. ![]()
