Have you researched your options?
The very first step in applying for a scholarship is to research your options so that you have a full picture of the scholarships available, including who offers them, what they cover and for how long. There are three sources of scholarships: education providers, the federal government and private organizations.
Do you understand the application process?
Once you have compiled a list of scholarships you are interested in, you will need to check their application methods and make sure that you understand the process. In most cases, you will be able to apply online or by post. If you are applying for a scholarship though an education provider, you should check whether your application needs to be submitted directly to the provider or through the Tertiary Admissions Centre (TAC) in your state.
Have you noted down deadlines?
Scholarships attract huge numbers of applications, so you will not be considered if you miss a closing date. It helps to write down the dates on a calendar or input the deadlines into your phone, perhaps setting yourself reminders closer to the submission date.
Have you triple-checked your application?
It’s all too easy to make mistakes when closing dates are looming, so it’s crucial that you give your applications a thorough read-over before they are submitted. Common mistakes relate to spelling and grammar issues, lack of detail, poor presentation and failure to follow instructions. Unfortunately, a simple mistake might result in your application landing in the ‘no’ pile.
