How To Win College Scholarships

You need to think "outside of the box" when it comes to scholarship searching, applying, and submitting your applications.

Most students use the internet and only the internet to search for and find scholarships.  There are many other methods of finding scholarships though!  In Step 2 of my guide, you will find alternate methods of finding scholarships.  The beauty of these methods is that you will find scholarships that many other students will not find, which increases your chance of winning the scholarship.  THAT is what you want.

Should you apply for big or little scholarships?  Early on in my scholarship research, I read somewhere that you should only apply for scholarships that are for $5000 or more.  WHAT?  That cuts out like 80% (at least) of all scholarships!  Apply for EVERY scholarship that you qualify for!  Little scholarships DO add up.  My son won one big one and a TON of little ones.   Enough said........

Did you know that some "need-based" (they give scholarships to students with financial need) scholarships consider anyone with an income level below $100,000 to be needy?  Don't NOT apply for a need-based scholarship just because you think your parents make too much money!  You never know what income levels they consider "too much" to be qualified to apply for their scholarship.

No one can guarantee that you'll win a scholarship.  Sure, they can find scholarships for you, but can they write the essays, send the transcripts, include the amazing letters of recommendation?  Nope.  Most of those promises sound too good to be true and they ARE.  You might be thinking, "Well, then why should I buy your scholarship guide?"  Well, you should buy my scholarship guide because my method of finding and applying for scholarships will save you a ton of time.  It will also teach you how to put together a scholarship application packet that is completely different from the traditional application that your peers will send in.  It will capture the attention of the judges and THAT is what you need to do to win college scholarships!

Scholarship deadlines start as early as September of each new school year.  While it's true that a large percentage of scholarship applications are due in the spring, many others are due in the fall and winter months.  Most students are not ready to start applying for scholarships until after the Christmas holidays.  If you start early, your chances of winning those scholarships with early deadlines are automatically greater, since not as may students apply for them.  Why wait? 

Learn what it takes to give your scholarship applications the edge it takes to win money for college and be ready for those early deadlines!

Well, R U?  When you fill out your scholarship applications, write your essays, and prepare your scholarship resume, leave the text-type in your phone!  i mean it, lol!!!  Ug!  Scholarship judges CRINGE when they read text-type.  The lack of punctuation, non-proper use of capitalization, and mysterious abbreviations for phrases are a red flag and will get your applications thrown right into the "reject" pile.  Sure, texting is fun, but it has no place in your scholarship applications.  So as tempting as it may be to fire off that essay with text-type, be strong and resist.  Let all the other applicants make that mistake, UKWIM?

We all know how busy everyone is these days, and teenagers are especially crazy-busy.  When you see a scholarship that you or your student would like to apply for, plan to send it in a week before the actual due date.  When my son and I were busy preparing scholarship applications, I always put a sticky note on the application that had the date that he needed to have all of the information collected and finished by. (Letters of recommendation, essays, etc...)  Little did he know that the date was a whole week before the actual due date or "posted by" deadline.  That way, when he forgot to bring home a letter or didn't quite have a chance to finish writing his essay, I didn't get upset.  Instead, I told him that he had 24 more hours to finish getting the required materials or his application would be late and probably thrown into the trash by the judges.  Who wants that to happen??
