5 Things People Who Win Scholarships Always Do (That Others Don’t)

1️⃣ They apply early — not the week of the deadline.
2️⃣ They customize their essays for each scholarship (never copy–paste).
3️⃣ They show impact, not vibes — “I volunteered for 3 years” > “I love helping people.”
4️⃣ They get strong recommendation letters (from people who actually know them).
5️⃣ They apply for MANY scholarships, not just one — even the small ones.

If you want to increase your chances, start applying like it’s a numbers game + strategy, not luck.
