Carl Iberger is a business consultant, and for sure, he will advise every child that will come towards him to finish their education first before they focus on having a business. Yes, there is nothing wrong if you want to open a business while studying, but, if you think you cannot manage both, it is best if you focus on your studies first.
If you are not financially capable, or if there is no one in the family who can provide you financial support, then getting a scholarship is what you need to focus on. There are many scholarship grants available out there, but not because it is available, you will jump into it immediately. As someone who is serious about getting a scholarship, he/she needs to know everything about it first before running after it.
By knowing everything about scholarship, you can make yourself more prepared when applying for one and also, you can get higher chances of passing in it.
So, what are the things you need to know about scholarship? Read the following:
You can get disqualified anytime you are studying under it
Once you get approved for a scholarship grant, do not be too complacent as even if you secure a grant, there is still a chance that you might get disqualified with the scholarship while studying under it. You need to reach the sponsor’s required grade or else, they can disqualify you any time.
You also have to give them a call from time to time for updates in case they change their requirements or they requested additional requirements from their scholars.
There are more students applying than the available grants
Yes, there are more students applying than the available grants, so expect that the competition can be very tight and securing one may not be an easy walk in the park. Do nor worry, as long as you have good grades to show and you do well on the interviews, you can get high chances of securing a spot.
Because the competition is tight, it is strongly recommended that earlier on, you prove your worthiness already. Prove to the sponsors that you are more qualified than the others by achieving good grades all throughout the time you are studying.
They do not cover the entire school fees
Do not assume that when you study under a scholarship grant, you do not need to pay any fees anymore as that is not the case. There are some sponsors who will cover the entire tuition fee but not allowances. You may want to ask the sponsor about this, so you can be financially prepared.
It is not all about school credentials
Do not assume that scholarship is all about school credentials, as this may also require social consciousness, leadership, and the like. You may need to actively participate in different social events in your school and community, as sometimes, the sponsors also look at your social interest and visibility.
