Hunting for scholarships__ A move for the SMARTS

One thing, that you need to keep in mind, is that there are hundreds of scholarships out there! This means that you will have to spend hours researching to find one or two that you qualify for. Don’t let this discourage you, because putting in the time can be the difference between free education and having to get a student loan.

• Where to look

The best place to find a scholarship that applies to you is to look at your university’s funding page. This will direct you to any scholarships that apply to most students at your university.

You can also do a general Google search for scholarships that apply to you. For instance, you could Google “Scholarships, SA citizen, BA degree”. This is where you could find scholarships that even your university is unaware of – which could really help you in the long run.

• How to screen for the right scholarship

Make sure that you read the scholarship’s main information page. This should have an Eligibility or Requirements section which will tell you immediately if you qualify or not. This helps to speed up your search because you can focus on those scholarships which actually apply to you.Application Tips

• If you don’t get awarded the scholarship in the first year that you apply – DON’T give up! Keep applying every year!
• Looking for scholarships can get overwhelming and stressful, but don’t get discouraged if you find more scholarships that you don’t qualify for than those that you do. Just keep going!
• If you have to write an application essay, be sure to get it proofread by someone who can do a good job
• Use Microsoft Excel, or Google Sheets, to keep a list of all the scholarships that you’re interested in. These can help keep note of where you can find more information on the scholarships, deadlines as well as what you still need to do for the application process.
