<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMy advice for applying to these kinds of Merit Scholarships is that a lot of times there are separate applications for these scholarships. So in order to apply to these scholarships, you have to a lot of times send an essays before the due date of the actual application for the college. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One college that I forgot to mention above was Washington University in st. Louis. They have a lot of great merit Scholarships and the applications for those scholarships are due, way before your application for the actual University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So just keep that in mind make a spreadsheet of all the scholarships that you’re applying to, when the due date is, what you have to do for it, like If you have to write an essay and that helps you keep very organized when you’re applying for these scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you’re looking for scholarships, you have to keep in mind that there are a lot of different kinds of scholarships. There are very large scholarships that are nationwide, a lot of people know about them and they’re also very small scholarships that may be local and may be offered by your school, they may be offered by local companies and in my case, those are the ones that you really have to do your research about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t stop looking for new scholarships because there are so many out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the scholarships that I’ve applied to, I would say that 50 of the scholarships out of like the 65 that I’ve applied to so far are small local scholarships. Most of them are $1,000, $1,500 and when applying to them you have to keep in mind that there might not be a lot of people applying to them, so your chances of getting those scholarships are much higher. So just keep looking for small scholarships to apply to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And on the other hand, for the big scholarships, I did apply to the Coca-Cola Scholars, I applied to the Burger King Scholars, there are a lot more but I didn’t get any of the big scholarships because they are so competitive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still applied and gave it my best shot but since they’re so competitive, it’s really hard to get them and I’m not saying don’t apply to them because you should still apply to them, a lot of people do get them. But I’m saying don’t be shy to apply to the small scholarships because a lot of times those are the ones that are going to end up giving you a lot of money to help pay for college tuition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing that’s really important is to make sure to ask your guidance counselor for a list of local scholarships. There are a lot of scholarships that are specifically for students living in your county and your neighborhood. Like in my experience there were some scholarships that my guidance counselor told me about but I couldn’t find anywhere online. So make sure to use your resources wisely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, make sure to take into account all those different factors about if they’re big, how competitive they are and try to apply to as many as you can. Honestly, it doesn’t hurt you to apply to a scholarship because you never know what the Scholarship Foundation is going to see in you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the same thing for college applications so just just try your best and submit the application because it won’t hurt and if you get it, great but if you don’t get it, it’s okay because there’s a lot more scholarships to apply to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously senior year is a very stressful year and you have a lot of things going on like keeping your grades up, you have to apply to college and on top of that you have to apply to scholarships and I know that it might seem like it’s way too much and you might want to stop applying to scholarships, but I can tell you that applying to scholarships is so important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should really prioritize that if you are looking for a way to pay for your college tuition because in the end if you apply the more scholarships you apply to, you have more of a chance of getting these scholarships and helping you pay for your college tuition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you guys have the best of luck and applying to scholarships and don’t be discouraged if you don’t get a scholarship because there are plenty for you to apply to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1241],"tags":[879],"yoast_head":"\n
