Scholarships.com interview- Listen to the expert

2/24/2009

 
Last week on The Scholarship Lady Show I was able to interview Kevin Ladd ofScholarships.com.  It was a great interview with tips on how to use Scholarships.com to improve your odds of finding scholarships.  Kevin also announced that they will again sponsor the Resolve to Evolve Essay scholarship competition (starts in May).  I asked him for tips on winning scholarships and here’s a few pieces of advice:

1.  Realize that everything gets noticed.  Everything.  Your spelling, language, neatness, etc.

2.   Your effort is evident.  If you throw it together at the last minute just know that you are competing with students who spent a great deal of time perfecting their applications.

3.  Be genuine.  You need to stand out and using cliches or generic essay material won’t put you ahead of the competition.  (Being genuine and memorable will)
