Scholarship Application Tips in 2018 for college students
• Before you apply
Ø Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive to do your best.
Ø Get involved, and stay involved, in out-of-class activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras — these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.
Ø Begin your scholarship research early — by your sophomore or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.
Ø Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible for — several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.
• During the application process
Ø Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.
Ø Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t go off topic.
Ø If there is a financial section to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.
Ø Take your time. Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.
Ø Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get blocked with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.
Ø If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.
Ø Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details.

Good luck to the students applying for the 2018 scholarship programs!

同类题1

I’ve cheated in school when I thought that I could get away with it. I’m not proud of it and I don’t usually feel very good about myself afterwards, but sometimes it’s the only way possible to survive in a pressure cooker. My parents are really set on my getting good grades. They study my report card the same way they examine the newspaper’s stock market page. And they make me feel that I’ve got to live up to their expectations.
But often it’s like each teacher acts as if his is the only subject we have. They think nothing of piling on our homework or giving surprise quizzes. Sometimes we have to take two or three tests in different subjects on the same day. I’d like to see a lot of adults I know preparing for that.
When the pressure becomes too high, some kids may resort to (诉诸于) cheating. If you have three or four subjects to study for, you’re not going to be able to devote enough time to each subject in order to be well prepared for each class. Besides, it may be the only way left to live up to your parents’ expectations and compete with the top students in the class.
Everybody knows that if you cheat, it’s important not to get caught. Few things can cause more of chaos. Once, my elder brother got caught cheating on a math final. My parents acted as though he’d committed a federal crime. The assistant principal called them to school, but although the incident caused several conferences, I don’t think that anybody ever really understood what my brother was going through. We’re just supposed to perform outstandingly as well as always act honestly, but how many adults can actually live up to the standards they set for us?
My father has gotten countless traffic tickets for parking in no parking zones or for not coming to a full stop at stop signs. And you’ve always hearing about people who don’t file their incomes tax honestly. How about all the corruption in government? Successful adults often accept dishonesty in order to achieve their business goals. Are kids the only ones who are supposed to be perfect?
Most of my friends have cheated on tests in school at one time or another. The kids who never cheated are usually either afraid of getting caught or just don’t know how to do it safely. Nobody wants to cheat. But if it’s a choice of being honest or of getting a better grade, most kids will try for the latter. That may sound wrong, but we didn’t make the rules, we’re just trying to get by.
【小题1】What is the best title of this passage?
A.Everyone can fight a cheat!
B.Everyone likes to cheat!
C.Cheating is reasonable!
D.No one wants to cheat!
【小题2】 The author owes children’s cheat to the following EXPECT __________.
A.parentsB.childrenC.teacherD.examinations
【小题3】 In the fifth paragraph, the author mainly wants to say ____________.
A.some adults can not live up to the standards they set for the children
B.kids are always supposed to be perfect
C.his father always cheats in his life
D.children shouldn’t learn from successful adults
【小题4】Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A.The author thinks it is children’s right to cheat in school.
B.Most of the author’s friends like cheating on the tests in school.
C.The author thinks it wrong to cheat in school.
D.The author shows a positive attitude towards a surprise quiz in school.

I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. "I came to thank you," she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned, for about half an hour,wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it?What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before,when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly,and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he can't hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more,and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
【小题1】We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room, the writer felt _______.

【小题2】Why did Simon's mother come to visit the writer?
A.Because she worried about her son's poor work.
B.Because Simon asked her to do so.
C.Because she wanted to show her gratitude to the writer.
D.Because she wanted to know her son's performance in the school.
