How to win scholarships for students with ADHD

As with any scholarship, ADHD scholarships are very competitive. In order to win funds for your education, it’s important to submit standout applications. One of the best ways to do this is to research the organizations offering the scholarships. Try to figure out their principles and values and emphasize these throughout your essays.

Remember, an effective scholarship application will emphasize how you have overcome your obstacles and discuss all that you hope to accomplish in the future, and how you plan to do it. Try to discuss the difficulties of ADHD as opportunities for growth rather than emphasizing the struggle you’ve had with them. Although these scholarships are meant to help ease the struggle that accompanies ADHD, organizations are looking to choose recipients who demonstrate that they can use the money to go on to do great things.

Writing guides for your essay

Once you’ve found some scholarship opportunities that are a good fit, it’s time to start applying. We can help you through the writing process with our guides, including how to write an essay about yourself, how to write a winning scholarship essay, and how to tailor your writing to 250 or 500 word limits.

Sometimes, starting out an essay is the hardest part. We can help you get those first words on paper with our guide on how to start a scholarship essay, and while you’re at it, check out our guide on how to end one. Finally, check out our guide on how to respond to the most common scholarship essay prompts!
