The earlier you start, the betterMany scholarship programs have deadlines in the fall or as early as January or February. Don’t wait until you’ve been accepted to college to start applying—begin your scholarship search early to give yourself the best chance at success!
Work with your school guidance counseling officeLocal scholarship programs often send their applications and information directly to the local schools. Your counselors are there to help you! The SSHS Counseling page has tons of information to help get you started.
Participation is keyOne of the best ways to stand out as a scholarship applicant is by getting involved in activities outside the classroom. Scholarship committees look for well-rounded students who participate in meaningful experiences like sports, student government, and community service. Taking on leadership roles in these areas can make an even bigger impact—especially when the competition is tough!
Don’t limit your number of scholarship applicationsApplying to just a few scholarships—especially the big national ones—isn’t enough. Keep submitting applications while opportunities are still open. Don’t overlook smaller or local scholarships; they often have fewer applicants, which means a better chance of winning. Since scholarship decisions can take time, waiting on results could cause you to miss out on others. The more scholarships you apply for, the better your chances of receiving one!
Perfect your scholarship essaysYour scholarship essays should go beyond simply listing what's already on your résumé or transcript. Use them as a chance to showcase your extracurricular activities and, more importantly, share how those experiences have made a difference in your life—or in someone else's. The more personal and specific you are, the more powerful and memorable your essay will be.
