General FAQs

• How do you get a scholarship?

  You get a scholarship by looking for one on a university's official website. You need to prepare for this by choosing the appropriate clothing to wear for the interview. Of course, you need to work hard on your credentials for a bigger chance of getting the scholarship you want. Sometimes, schools give a scholarship award to the most deserving students. 
   

• Do students get recommendations for a scholarship?

  Yes. Students may request a recommendation letter from their teachers when applying for a scholarship.
   

• How does a scholarship program work?

  When a student is in a scholarship program, the school provides for his living expenses and tuition fee. However, the student has to maintain a grade requirement so he won't lose the scholarship. Slacking is not an option. 
   

• How long does a scholarship last?

  A scholarship initially lasts for a year. When a student does good in his studies, the school renews it as long as the student maintains good grades. It can last up to four years—the usual time that students finish a degree program. 
   

• How does a scholarship program benefit a student?

  According to Chron, a scholarship program benefits the students in the following ways:

  1. Financial - The student avoids huge debts with the money needed to study in college. It also pays for your living expenses while you're studying. 
  2. Educational - Scholarships help students get the degree they want without any worry. 
  3. Career - Having a scholarship in college gives you a more significant advantage to get a higher salary as an employee. You'd be a great asset to the business or organization you'll eventually belong. 
  4. Personal - Some scholarship programs don't cover every cost of your education. That leaves you to work part-time jobs to pay the remaining tuition. Working part-time jobs allows you to learn things beyond the classroom walls.
