Make sure you get as much information about the scholarship as possible. If the scholarship entails a particular project, find out the full objectives and intended methodology of the project. If the scholarship is being funded by a private enterprise, gather as much information as you can about the company, its philosophy and its goals.
To apply for most scholarships, you will need to fill out forms and supply documents to support your application. You might also be asked to attend an interview with the selection panel. Some things you may be asked to provide with your application are:
- Proof of citizenship or residency status (e.g. birth certificate, passport)
- Evidence of community involvement, financial hardship or ethnic background
- List of referees
- Transcripts or records of learning
Your referees are very important. Make sure they know which scholarships you have listed them as a referee in. Make sure they can provide the kind of information about you that the selection committee will need to know. For example, if they need to know about your research capabilities make sure the referee you provide has supervised your research work before or has some other knowledge of your capabilities. Also be sure to provide your referee with some background on what you are applying for.
If necessary arrange any academic or language tests required.
