Additional Hints
Read scholarship descriptions carefully – you won’t qualify for all of them.
 

Check deadlines on all applications – make sure your application will arrive at the final destination before the deadline.

Follow the application instructions; read instructions again when putting the application together to be sure you have everything. Not doing so will cost you a scholarship.
