A Winning Attitude

You may be the best candidate but, there is no quarantee that you will be selected for a particular scholarship. However, it is important that you think like a winner.

Double talk? Maybe, but in addition to completing an outstanding application, you need to believe that you deserve to win. It is important that a winning attitude show through without sounding arrogant. You need to convince the judges that you are the best candidate.

Read the application carefully to be sure that you meet the eligibility requirements but, don't automatically disqualify yourself. Read the application a second time and ask alot of questions before you decide that you are not a good match for an award.

Then proceed with making your application as visually attractive as possible. Remember,your personal statement is the most important document in your scholarship packet. It is your job to sell yourself in the best light possible. You are the product. You need to show enthusiasm for what you are studying and project a positive attitude. You will be competing with other very qualified students so your application needs to shine. Think like a winner and it will show in your writing.
