Scholarships

Scholarship Application Process

When applying for scholarships, it's best to start by applying for scholarships with small applicant pools first. For example, scholarships offered through your parent's employer are likely to have less applicants than a scholarship offered through a national corporation such as Coca Cola. In the same way, it's best to start by applying for local scholarships before looking at national scholarships because you will be competing against fewer people and therefore you are more likely to attain an award. See the Steps below for our recommended process to apply for scholarships.
