What if the field I plan on pursuing in the future isn't as 'helpful' as a veterinarian for example? I plan on majoring in information technology, how can I highlight how I'm bettering the world?
It's really awsome video...very informative
Thank you for the advice!

I have a question. I'm preparing a video application for a scholarship. The requirement already included some questions and I have to answer within 2 minutes. Should I just follow only the provided questions or add other bullet ideas like you recommended in the video? Thank you so much

Hello, I have a question! For some programs, I’ve applying they asked What will I contribute to the program? little confused, what would you recommend? Did you make any video about it? If yes can you attach the link for me? Thank you a lot!

The answer is similar to Why I deserve the scholarship. When asked about what you will contribute, you will need to share what makes you different. How will your perspective, personality, attitude, or skills make a difference to the program, the participants, or the project? So you will want to share how you being involved will make an impact to the program and to the overall experience. So if you reframe the question to, Why I deserve to attend this program... it may make the question a little easier to answer using our suggestions.

Hello I have a question! For a some scholarships I’m applying for there is no word count. What do you recommend as a solid word count for this kind of essay?

If there is no word count, usually about 500 words is good. But it never hurts to approach the scholarship organization itself to see if they have a preference that wasn't stated.

Hello madam I enjoyed watching your video. I want to apply for a fellowship to do Ph.D. in public health. I am going to apply for this first-time international scholarship. So I don't understand how to write nicely. I have masters in public health and have been working in the public health sector for 10 years. It would be very helpful if you could advise me on how I should put all this together. Thank you
Please, what about merit scholarships

Hi, so i am applying for this scholarship where i want to amswer this question by mentioning the financial burden that the only earning member of my family faces to pay for my education, and hence, the scholarship would lead to me being able to help relieve that stress somewhat, while also clear away some educational fees...what do you think of this?

Our content is for students living in the US attending college in the US. But for the most part, if a scholarship asks to prove financial need, then you have an opportunity to explain your family's financial situation. You can include a monthly cashflow budget, if necessary, to prove that there is no discretionary money available. You can also discuss how you want to avoid student debt and how that will benefit you in the future.
