For those of you who have used scholarship websites to their advantage,
What was the frequency of your scholarship application and the amount of the award? I have been making an effort to apply for at least one per day, sometimes even five or six.
Hey, I applied to roughly forty scholarships and have won two so far. I’m quite delighted about it, especially since I thought these two were the ones whose essays I detested. One of them was a full ride to one of my institutions, and the other was a 25k scholarship that I’m using for graduate school.
Continue until you obtain some! The wait for a response is quite stressful and difficult, but in the end, it’s worthwhile. best of luck!
I’ve been actively using scholarship websites too and found that applying frequently definitely helps. I used to apply for around three to five scholarships per week, focusing on both local and national opportunities. The award amounts varied significantly, from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on the scholarship. My strategy was to balance between high-value and smaller awards, which eventually helped me secure a few significant grants. Staying consistent and tailoring applications to fit each scholarship’s criteria made a big difference in my success rate. Keep at it, and you’ll likely see positive results!
