Introduction
You’ve spent all that time and effort getting into university, and now you want to make the most of it by winning a scholarship. Well, you’re in luck! Winning a scholarship is easier than you think if you know what to look out for.
You have a better chance of winning a scholarship if you’re just starting out at university.
If you’re just starting out at university, then your chances of winning a scholarship are much higher than if you are already in third year. This is because scholarships are awarded to first year students and the more experience and knowledge that someone has, the harder it will be for them to win a scholarship (unless they have an exceptional academic record).
Be aware that there are different types of scholarships, and apply for them all.
The first thing you need to know is that there are different types of scholarships. You’ll want to apply for all of them, but make sure that you’re applying for the right ones. For example:
- Scholarships can be specific to your field of study (for example, if you want to study biology or physics). If this is the case, then it makes sense for your application materials and references from professors or teachers who specialize in those fields would be more relevant than someone else’s opinion on what makes a great student.
- If there are scholarships available only for certain age groups (such as high school seniors), then make sure yours fits into those parameters before submitting any applications! If not…you may get rejected without even knowing why (or worse yet– have no idea why).
Consider whether you want to stay local or travel abroad for study.
If you want to travel abroad for study, you may need to apply for more scholarships. If your goal is to study in the United States or Canada, consider applying for international scholarships as well.
If you want to stay local, you will have fewer scholarship opportunities because there are fewer universities and colleges within driving distance than those that are farther away.
It’s worth applying to multiple scholarships because the odds are stacked in your favour!

You can’t win if you don’t enter, so it’s always a good idea to apply for as many scholarships as possible. There are two ways of doing this: either spread out your applications over time, or apply all at once. The latter is preferable as it gives you more time afterwards to focus on other aspects of your application such as attending interviews, writing essays and preparing portfolios.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a way to fund your education, it’s worth considering how many scholarships you can apply for and what kind of opportunities there are for you. The more applications you send in, the better your chances of winning one! The key is to keep track of all the deadlines so that none slip through the cracks while also staying on top of other tasks like studying or working part time jobs.
