Application Tips
Begin a scholarship application and review the essay questions. This will allow you to see the entire application and get an idea for what information you will need to complete it. You can save your application and log back in to edit it at any time before the deadline. Only when you hit 'Submit' instead of 'Save' will the application be completed.
Take time to write essays that show the scholarship committee who you are and where your passions lie. The amount of time you spend on the application will show. If applicable, address particular scholarships for which you would like to be considered.
Avoid using clichés in your writing. Some clichés are true, for example it is true that you will get outside your comfort zone when you study abroad and that you will experience other cultures. However, these clichés speak more to the experience of study abroad in general. If you want to showcase who you are and make yourself stand out, eliminate general statements as much as possible and instead share details specific to you.
