College Scholarship Tip: What’s in a name? Everything!
This college scholarship tip is so easy, yet most students don’t even consider it.
[2022 Edition]
This college scholarship tip is so simple, yet so many students don’t bother with it.
Here it is: Always double and then triple-check the name of the scholarship organization in your essays and letters of recommendation. (I have had letters of recommendation sent to me with the Savor Summer College Scholarship materials addressed to, “Dear Admissions Officer…”) UGH!
College scholarship judges have been known to throw out applications with another organization’s name on them.
Check for correct spelling in each place the name is written, carefully making sure proper capitalization is also used. This mistake often happens when students recycle college scholarship essays and use them for several applications.
Recycling essays saves a ton of time, but it must be done very carefully, as I share in my How to Win College Scholarships ebooks.
It may seem like a small detail, but to organizations offering thousands of scholarship dollars, why would they award their money to someone who refers to them as a completely different company?
