Meet the eligibility requirements
Make sure that you meet the eligibility requirements for each scholarship you apply for. If you don’t meet the eligibility requirements, you will not be considered for the scholarship.
Put together a strong application
Take the time to put together a strong scholarship application. This includes writing a winning scholarship essay, getting good letters of recommendation, and following the instructions carefully.
Network with people
Networking with people can help you find out about scholarships and get your foot in the door. Attend college fairs, talk to your school counselor, and reach out to people in your community.
