Write a summary on what must be done to apply for a
scholarship. |
|
|
|
With thousands of students vying for a single scholarship, especially after
PMR, SPM or STPM examinations, you simply cannot afford to make any mistakes
on your scholarship application. If you want your scholarship application to
be given due consideration, you must send in your application before the
deadline. Applications that are late, even by a day or two, will often not
be considered. What is equally bad is sending in incomplete applications.
Candidates often forget to enclose their certificates or money order, so
check before you seal the envelope. Another way of getting your application
thrown into the bin is to send in one that has grammatical or spelling
errors. Ask your parents or your teachers to read through your application
before you submit it, especially if you are required to write an essay.
While being able to stand out from the thousands of applications is
important, it is not advisable to exaggerate your accomplishments. Students
may be tempted to claim that they have won this competition or the other,
but we live in a small world and your little white lie may be found out.
Most importantly, if you do not meet the academic requirements for the
scholarship, don't even bother to apply. You would only be wasting your time
and energy. |

To make sure your scholarship application gets due
consideration, you must send in your application on time. Make sure it is
complete, with no grammatical or spelling mistakes. Besides that, do not
exaggerate or lie about your accomplishments. Most importantly, make sure
you meet the academic requirements in the first place. Otherwise, do not
bother to send in your application. ( 60 words ) |
