A new year means new opportunities, especially when it comes to scholarships. January kicks off one of the busiest scholarship seasons, and the students who start early have the best chance of winning big.
Begin by reviewing the scholarships you didn’t get to last year. Many open again every January with similar deadlines.
Next, set simple goals for the new year.Example: Commit to applying for five scholarships every week or setting aside one hour every Sunday for scholarship work.
Track everything in one place; consistency is your best advantage.
Quick Wins:
Update your résumé with last year’s achievements.
Refresh your main essay with new experiences.
Create a calendar of January–March deadlines.
