Tips for students applying to winter scholarships
- Many scholarships require letters of recommendation from a teacher or professor. Be sure to ask for your letters as early as possible, especially because many educators get very busy around the holidays.
- Fine-tune your essays with our guides on how to write about yourself, how to write a 250 or 500 word essay, and how to show, not tell in your writing.
- Remember, there are countless great scholarships open all year round! Check out our other scholarship pages for lists of opportunities by major, background, year, and more.
- Don’t use same essay for all your applications. Even if two different scholarship applications ask the same prompt, you can improve your chances of winning by tailoring your essay to the scholarship. Try looking up the organization’s mission and values. You can emphasize these values in your application to help stand out from the crowd.
