Here’s how you can apply fast and still submit a strong application.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If you've written a personal statement or essay for a different scholarship or college app, use that as your base. Tweak it slightly to match the new prompt or organization’s focus.
This might sound obvious, but it’s easy to miss. Read the essay question carefully and make sure your response is focused. Get straight to the point and stay on topic — especially if you're on a time crunch.
Don’t bury the good stuff at the end. Start your essay with a strong hook — a moment, a challenge, or a goal — that captures the reader right away.
Many scholarships ask for a list of extracurriculars, volunteer work, or achievements. You don’t need a fancy design — just a clean bullet-point format will do. Focus on impact and leadership.
Seriously. Give yourself a buffer in case something goes wrong (like your Wi-Fi dropping mid-submission). Even if the deadline is at midnight, aim to hit submit a few hours earlier.
