How to help your students with the scholarship process

• Encourage students to apply early. The best time to start the process is as soon as scholarships open
• Encourage your students to apply for all of the scholarships they are eligible for – students will not be offered more than one scholarship, however applying for all relevant scholarships will increase their opportunities for receiving a scholarship
• Encourage students to think about what they’re passionate about and participate in activities outside of the classroom. For merit based scholarships, we look for well-rounded students who are involved in activities and programs that are meaningful to them; This will make their application stand out
• Write a good reference. A detailed reference can provide vital information about a student’s motivation, leadership potential and key attributes. A good reference is often vital for a competitive scholarship application
• Remind students about scholarship deadlines. The majority of our scholarship recipients have noted that they were encouraged to apply through their high school, so reminders about opening and closing dates are vital to students’ awareness about scholarship opportunities
