How can I get a good scholarship?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get a scholarship, you need do the following;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Know where to search for scholarships;<\/strong> <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use a scholarship<\/strong> search engine, search on credible websites<\/a>, blogs, schools update, etc. Just ensure you’re getting the authentic info on the call-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Prepare in advance for scholarships;<\/strong> <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don’t always be taken unawares, push your IQ a little harder, or maybe, your efforts require the pushing even to acquire results that attract scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get<\/strong> involved with your community, it is called volunteering, it sells often big-time for some major scholarships too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, whatever the major requirements will be; volunteer experience, GPA, etc, make such to have enough of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Work hard and stay motivated; <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

you MUST be your first cheerleader. Cheer yourself on, motivate you, then add some hard work to all that self-cheerleading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, be passionate, very passionate. It fuels and sustains hardwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Distinguish yourself from other applicants; <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I cannot overemphasize this, STAND OUT! Give the scholarship sponsor what it wants, this you can achieve by deeply learning about scholarship odds. This gives you an advantage that enables you to interpret the requirements better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t just do well with your grades or volunteering experience or any other requirements, add ‘top-notch’ to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literally, blow your own mind with your results, then we will be near too certain that your scholarship-benefactors will be overly blown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one, you will already be STICKING OUT from the rest of the applicants with such extreme great results. Keep pushing you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Read the instructions meticulously; <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

NEVER be in a hurry to BRUSH through any scholarship’s instructions. That may be the beginning of rejections, but no, not for you, please. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you need to pause, breath, then read again very slowly. When you’re done, go another slow round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you’ll find some near-unnecessary detail that could have caused you the award of the scholarship. So dear, always ensure you read every part of the instructions, even the numbering. (Grins away)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don’t ignore the optional questions! The can be very tricky! Answer just everything. It could be what eventually stands you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research about additional opportunities and understand the requirements. Also, ensure to check out the eligibility criteria of all available Canadian scholarships<\/a> for international students or citizens.

Don\u2019t spend your time applying to awards that you\u2019re not actually eligible for,  because it reduces your chances of gaining a scholarship.

Read the eligibility requirements through very carefully. If you\u2019re not sure what one of the requirements means, or if it applies to you, ask the award administrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes only a few minutes to ask questions for clarity. Now compare that to hours of writing an essay for an award you can\u2019t win. I’m sure you don’t want any of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Submit an exceptional essay or cover letter;<\/strong> <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Want to hear some truth? Sometimes, you meet all the requirements, but, your only downer was the cover letter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have to take a course, by all means, do! But you MUST perfect the art of drafting a SWELL cover letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very strategically, look for essay contests and send in your essays to as many call outs as possible. It builds your essay writing skill better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Apply for every eligible scholarship;<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The trick to winning scholarships is often by applying for several at once. The more scholarships you apply for, the better chances you stand to win at least a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, keep applying for as many eligible scholarships as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Participate in community life. <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Though many scholarships for<\/strong> international students are based on academic qualifications and some or a few on financial need, however, a good number of others are awarded for community participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Be Positive;<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This cannot be over said. Search, read, apply, then, stay very positive about getting every scholarship. Believe you\u2019ll get the scholarship, that’s sure how winners keep winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You sure will want o get a great news while immersed in your positive energy, so yeah, allow yourself be immersed in that during the waiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive response from the scholarship-benefactors will eventually come, so relax already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
