Following Info Provided by Scholarships.com

Tips for a Winning Scholarship Application

1. Apply only if you are eligible.

2. Complete the application.

3. Read and follow all instructions.

4. Submit a clean and neat application.

5. Submit a well-composed essay that makes a definite impression.

6. Be aware of and meet all deadlines.

7. Mail application to the proper address with the proper postage affixed.

8. Give your application materials a final review.

9. Seek assistance if you feel you need it.

10. Make sure you're proud of and satisfied with your application submission.

Reasons an Application Will Not Win a Scholarship

1. Applicant mailed the envelope without the application enclosed.

2. Applicant submitted an incomplete application.

3. Applicant forgot to include their name and/or address.

4. Applicant submitted an illegible or unintelligible application.

5. Applicant sent the application with insufficient postage- returned "postage due."

6. Applicant submitted irrelevant or inappropriate supporting documentation.

7. Applicant submitted a dirty or stained application.

8. Applicant applied for an award when falling short of the minimum requirements.

9. Applicant made a number of spelling errors.

10. Applicant was rude or abusive to the judges.

Tips to Protect Yourself Against Scholarship Scams

1. Don't believe a promise of guaranteed funds you'll never have to repay. No one can guarantee that you will win a scholarship or grant. Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

2. Beware scholarship services that charge fees or claim that you can't get this information anywhere else. There are many free lists of scholarships available. Check with your school guidance counselor, library and Scholarships.com before you decide to pay someone to do the work for you.

3. Ignore the myth of unclaimed funds and the companies that advertise huge amounts of unclaimed money.

4. Don't be fooled by official-sounding names and logos. Make sure the foundation, organization or program is legitimate.

5. Don't pay an advance fee. Don't pay anyone who claims to be "holding" a scholarship for you or informs you the scholarship will cost some money. Free money shouldn't cost a thing.

6. Disregard any news that you're a finalist in any contest that requires you to pay a fee for further consideration. Before you send money to apply for the scholarship, check it out.

7. Check the terms closely if there's a guaranteed refund or a money back guarantee. Refund guarantees often have conditions or strings attached. Get refund policies in writing -- before you pay.

8. Resist high-pressure tactics like "We'll do all the work for you." Don't be fooled. There's no way around it, you must apply for scholarships or grants yourself.

9. Do not give out your credit card, bank or checking account numbers to any solicitors who claim they need it for you to be eligible for either a contest or access to "exclusive" scholarship information. Get information in writing first. It may be a set-up for an unauthorized withdrawal. 10. A lower fee is no guarantee that a scholarship service or program is legitimate.
