Re: How to get a full-ride scholarship?

(Anonymous) 2023-05-07 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Study real hard, get superb grades, do no more than two extra curriculars (colleges notice when you have a massive amount and know it means you aren't doing any of them well, one or two more focused extra curiculars mean you are taking them seriously), write a real good personal statement which sounds genuine to you and not a canned one from a trainer or a site. Know exactly why you are going to college and what you want to do, lean into medicine with family medicine or urgent care in a poorer state where frontline doctors are in demand and colleges are under pressure to get students through their degree and into in-state med schools to fill those gaps. And research your institution, get a letter of personal support from an alumni. Preferably a professor or someone who guest teaches at it. Contact their admissions department and ask to speak to someone to find out what they are looking for the most. Those personal relationships are key.

I know it is a lot, but getting a full ride is a lot of money so the school wants to know you can put in a lot of work to get it. There are also services who research what scholarships might be available for you, look into working with one of them. For example, does your church or your parents employers have a scholarship program, many do and those that don't often know a scholarship opportunity somewhere else and can refer you on. Not gonna lie to you, getting a full ride is hard and you are gonna have to put in the equivalent of a fulltime job just getting one, and maybe keeping it too.
