I have applied to about 6 scholarships, that require essays. This one being my favorite that I have written. However I recieved a notification, notifying me that I was rejected. Pretty much, with this one being rejected, I knew my other ones didn't stand a chance. The thing is my senior class has 45 students, most not going to college. It had gotten to the point where, the guidance counselor had to beg, students to apply to this specific scholarship, because literally nobody was applying. What am I doing wrong? How am I getting rejected,when I spend hours and days on an essay, compared to others who write an essay last minute. Genuinely don't know what I'm doing wrong, I have watched videos, read articles, asked teachers to review my essays. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

anyone hear back from this scholarship?

Basically, I need to write an email begging for an extension or additional consideration to keep a scholarship.

I’m a freshman and received a pretty good 4 year scholarship. The only requirements are to be in good standing and a 3.5 gpa. However, due to struggling to the college environment + a bad knee injury, I had an absolutely terrible first semester. Even with straight As this semester, I would end up with a 3.48.

How do I word this email so I can explain my situation (and show that this second semester represents the real me) without sounding like I'm just making excuses?

In addition, I would like to ask if I can take summer courses to boost my GPA before next semester. I'm unsure if my GPA will be checked before or after summer grades are added.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've applied for a scholarship recently and involved turning in 2 letters of recommendation, a resume, and a one page autobiography. Me and a few others have been selected to do in person interviews in a few days. The interview is about 15 minutes and I just want to get an idea of the kind of questions to expect. Does anyone have an ideas? I just want to be somewhat prepared.

Hi guys! I’m going to college this year In the fall and I’ve been trying to apply to scholarships but Ive heard nothing back from any I’ve applied to. Does anyone have good websites I could apply to? Something legit so that I’m not wasting my time with scams! Thanks

I’m interested in the undergraduate student scholarship to study in Japan.

Is it real? How competitive is it?

I’d love to hear personal stories!

I have a 3.8 UW and 4.0 W gpa I’m looking for scholarships related to sports management. As a high schooler, I’ve worked as the student manager for my high school football team for 650 hours. Also, I volunteered helping with equipment at a local, small D1 football program. Are there scholarships I could potentially get and if so, what should I do to get them?

Does anyone know where I can find the best scholarships for me? I am a black woman (18 turning 19 in June) who is going for a degree in the arts (visual not performing).

How many essays did you all have to write?

This is my first reddit post btw, so excuse me if I'm breaking any rules.

I need the money but i feel all my ideas are not award winning. Does anyone have ideas on what to write please???

Hello everyone! So a couple days ago I had an interview for the scholarships I applied for. Today I received an email telling me that I had won a scholarship along with the names of other participants. However a couple of things had caught my eye, first of all my name was under a header of the name of a scholarship. The issue here is I don’t recall ever applying to the scholarship that my name was under on. I tried searching the names online but was unable to find the scholarship on any website. What really rose my eyebrow was that the email stated I had to pay a processing fee of $300 in order to confirm my participation. This whole thing to me sounds like a scam but I would to know anybody’s opinion on if this might be legit or not, as my other friends were also listed on the scholarships?

Im a poli sci major living in california,, and I think its too late for me to apply for scholarships… should I give up my hopes or are there still scholarships available till now?😔😞

Hi everyone I would like to ask about gn scholarship. If I wanna apply to government scholarship should I get an invited from a college or got accept to university?

Any recommendation for scholarships for masters program specializing in mft ?

Long story short, I got into a couple of universities but I have realised too late that there's no way I can fund it. I was hoping to apply for scholarships but their deadlines are long over and the semester begins in October. I understand how irresponsible I sound, but I rationalised this decision thinking that the scholarships demand an offer letter anyway. Now it seems like I've made the most stupid decision ever.

Should I just cut my losses or are there any scholarships available?

Thanks in advance!

Hey! Has anyone who applied to the Jimmy Rane foundation scholarship heard anything yet? They said they would start notifying people in mid April. Fingers crossed with this one though, that application almost made me crazy! 🤣

Waiting for FAFSA to confirm my info, but are there any other scholarships for adults ? not kids coming straight out of high school? Much help appreciated :)

I'm an upcoming Sophomore student at Eastern Michigan University. I have a Scholarship that covers my tuition but not room and board so even after financial aid, I need to pay around 2-3k per semester and I'n not sure where to apply for scholarships. My grades are pretty good, and Im finishing with a 3.5 GPA this semester I believe. Im changing my major to Leadership, and I have a minor in Creative Writing. I would really appreciate some suggestions on where I could apply for actual real scholarships that arent a point system or feel like a virus lol

hey guys! i recently won a 5K local scholarship, but i have a full ride to duke university. if you don’t know, duke has this thing called scholarship displacement, so any additional scholarships will be used as part of my tuition and my full ride aid will be reduced. do you guys think if i asked the scholarship program to use the scholarship for other expenses (macbook, dorm expenses, etc.), will they agree? has anyone had luck with this?

i’m a black female STEM highschool student, senior year going to attend college. are there any full ride scholarships or near full ride i can apply to?

So I have a letter of recommendation that I forgot was specific to the college I applied for (I’m currently a high school senior) and so since I forgot when I was submitting scholarships I used that LOR for the scholarship. Are scholarships strict as in if I send in a LOR that’s specific for something else, they just won’t look at it or I’ll be disqualified?

Hello! I'm an Egyptian high school student, 16 years old, and I'm in need of a fully funded scholarship to complete my high school education abroad in (Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Malaysia, America, China, Korea, Russia). The scholarship should qualify me to study at top universities like (Cambridge, Harvard), and I'm particularly interested in technology, programming, chemistry, and semiconductor materials. It would be great if the scholarship prioritizes students from certain countries, but if not, that's okay too. Also, it should cover expenses reasonably. Thank you! ❤️

LIVE MAS SCHOLARSHIP: I’m aware that winners are expected to come out later this month, but in previous years I have seen that winners get notified two weeks before everybody gets an email. Has anyone heard back!

I want to go into marketing or some sort of video production. Is there video contest I can enter instead of just essays for scholarship money.
