WINNING THE SCHOLARSHIP RACE CHAPTER TOPICS


Researching Schools

Higher education institutions are the first place to look for financial aid, but often their funding opportunities are not transparent for families. Derrius tells you how to find these opportunities.

Resume Crafting

Conveying the activities that you or your student have participated is an extremely important part of telling their unique story and this book explains how to format this effectively.

Interviewing for Scholarships

If you have never interviewed for anything before it can be very nerve-wracking. This book tells students how to remain calm and be fully prepared for any interviews that may come their way.

How To Find Scholarships

Derrius provides students with a number of resources including the very best online solutions to find scholarships as well as some lesser known resources they can use offline.

Recommendations

Most funding opportunities will require the perspective of a third-party on the applicant, this book explains how to acquire great recommendations from people in the community.

Developing Confidence

If you have never won a scholarship before it is tough to feel like you are a winner. This book guides students through methods they can use to increase their confidence when applying.

Essay Crafting

Creating a great essay for scholarship applications can be a daunting process. This book helps students address the most common concerns and avoid common pitfalls with writing.

Time Management

Completing numerous applications at the same time becomes difficult to manage when balancing life, this book provides various tips to address the limited time you have to do work.
