There is nothing more annoying than filling out applications for scholarships. At first, it is quite exciting – the idea of getting money for the hard work you’ve done. Eventually, after the 9th form you’ve filled out, it can become quite tedious. A lot of the time you only hear from one tenth of the people to whom you’ve sent applications. The worst part is that you know you need them. There are small ones from $100 to big ones of $75,000! Take anything. A big one would be phenomenal, but a few $500, $1,000 and so on can add up quite quickly.
A lot of the time people don’t want to write 500 – 1000 words for ‘only $500′… $500!! Most people complain about spending $2.00 on something in the cafeteria, but writing a small essay for 250x that amount of money is completely not worth it; I really don’t understand. I’ve been there, a lot of the time you want to be out with friends or there’s school work that needs to be done, but sometimes you just need to take the time and power through a bunch. The motivation can sometimes be hard to find, but just remember it will be one of the highest paying job you will ever have. Even if it takes you two hours to fill out a $500 scholarship application, if you get it – that’s $250 an hour. Not too shabby!
If you think you’re not good enough for one, you’re probably wrong! Take the time to try at least, it can’t hurt. A lot of the time you might be the only one that applies anyways! Don’t let thinking you’re not good enough stop you from filling out scholarship applications. Everyone is awesome in their own way and there are tons of people out there wanting to fund your education!
