To increase your chances of winning, we recommend that you apply to scholarships regularly! The more you apply, the greater your chances for winning scholarships. Add to that a well-written, compelling essay, and your odds skyrocket.
Focus on your interests
In all honesty, when it comes to applications - we believe it’s best to go for what you are passionate about! If you feel comfortable talking about yourself and can promote yourself through a compelling essay or a video, go for those scholarships! Or, maybe your forte is writing essays about the environment, health, gaming, and pretty much any other subject: we are sure you’ll find plenty of scholarships to apply for!
Recommended scholarships
That being said, ScholarshipOwl members do get access to an advanced recommendation system - powered by artificial intelligence - that generates for you a weekly list of recommended scholarships. These recommendations are unique to every user: it’s a list of scholarships you have the best chances of winning. How can we know this? We base our recommendations on a low number of applicants, a limited number of students who qualify for a scholarship, high scholarship provider credibility, and an upcoming deadline. In other words, we stack the filters so you get the best chances of winning.
Get organized
We also provide other tools and resources to aid you in your own selection process, such as our filters and sorting options. You get to prioritize your deadlines, choose award amounts and sift through the requirements you wish to complete.
Think that’s it? Think again.
Know your competition
We’ll even give you deeper insight into each scholarship: you will know the number of submitted applications (and how much competition there is!) and the scholarship credibility score (how legitimate we believe each scholarship is). Use these to your advantage and apply for scholarships with best chances of winning.
Scholarships are very competitive, so make sure you are doing your best work when writing essays! If you are willing to work hard, you will be winning scholarships in no time!
