Applying for Scholarships Is Worth the Effort

A little extra effort on a scholarship application might help with getting money for tuition to fund your welding training. Here are some tips to help you position yourself for scholarship success.

1. Find the Scholarship That’s Right for You

The first thing you need to consider is how much funding you need. Do you belong to any groups or do you fit any special criteria that gives you access to a scholarship fund? Many scholarships will require documentation. You should start gathering that information especially as some require you to have filled out a financial aid application before applying.

Once you have compiled a list of scholarships that apply to your situation, proceed strategically: What are the deadlines? How demanding is the application and how much time do you need to fill out the application? Is the application effort worth the amount of the award? 1 Being strategic can increase your chance of getting the right scholarship.

2. Consider Your Target Audience

Take time to study the organization giving out the award and the requirements listed on the application form. Looking at the About Us page and the Mission/Vision statement can give you insight to the organization. Appealing to their goals and interests will grab their attention and show them you’re a good fit. 2 Prior to submission of your completed application, review it to ensure it is free from grammatical errors and has captured the correct tone. Have someone you trust read it over first.

Does your personal story explain why you want the scholarship? 3 This is something to highlight in your essay whether it is volunteer work, awards, or past experiences.

Don’t Believe the Myths
