how to get a scholarship, what are main factor to get the scholarship?

Answer 1

There are many different kinds of scholarships, and each one has different criteria. Yes, generally it is helpful either to be an excellent student or to be athletic, but there are other possibilities. For example, people often establish scholarships to be given to people who fit some criterion that they establish. So that scholarship may have to go to someone whose parents are employees of a particular company, or someone from a particular town, or someone of a particular gender, age, or ethnicity, or someone with a particular area of study. If you are looking at a particular school, they should have a list of all the scholarships they are authorized to give out. There are also scholarships which are independent of a specific school, and if you want one or more of those, you can research them yourself (it used to be that you had to get a book from the library, but I would guess that you could now do this online. Ask your financial aid office about it).

Answer 2

In order to obtain a scholarship, one should research to learn what types of scholarships are being awarded and make application. Usually, there is a competition involved with an academic scholarship. The best letter or submission, wins!

There are books in the reference area of most public and/or college or university libraries that you may study to determine which scholarship you are most qualified for. Ask a reference librarian for the book/s that list scholarship opportunities.

Your personal interests, civic involvement, and goals are used to determine what scholarship will be of greatest interest.

In addition, use the sites below for additional information about scholarships and grants. The last entry is a federal grant site with an online application. It is always good to make application to all available sources of academic funding...including state and federal education grants. Check with your state's Department of Education to inquire as to whether any grants are available for application.

Remember to check with the guidance counselor at your school or former school for information, too.

Study hard, good grade... but usually if someone has some finance problems but still able to do well in school, his chance to get a scholarship is usually higher then others... or maybe you have some talens or special ablilities.... my cousin used to get a scholarship to university since she plays tennis very well... another cousin got scholarship since she keeps doing charity...
