Build a Scholarship List Instead of Applying Randomly
Don’t keep all your scholarship research in your head.
Create a spreadsheet.
For every opportunity, record:
Information What to record
Scholarship Name
University Institution
Degree Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD
Value Amount or benefits
Deadline Exact date
Eligibility Who can apply
Documents What you need
Recommendation Number of references
Application Separate or automatic
Status Not started / submitted
This might sound like extra work, but it’s not.
Imagine finding a scholarship two days before the deadline and discovering that you needed a recommendation letter from a professor.
That is the kind of problem a simple spreadsheet prevents.
