5 Major Reason Students Don’t Get Shortlisted In Scholarship- See Reason
A lot of students apply for scholarships and at the end, they are not even shortlisted. This has been a major headache among university students.
Many people believe that it is done randomly and there is no criterion. This I have proven wrong by changing application strategies.
I would be listing out the major reasons I have discovered in the course of scholarship applications for myself and people.
1.Poor Document Quality: Important Undergraduate scholarships in Nigeria are a little bit strict in their selection. When asked to scan and upload, be sure that the document’s resolution is good enough(70dpi is fair enough) and the size is moderate (not greater than 200kb) preferably in JPG. This can be done during the scanning operation not by cutting or editing.
2.Inappropriate Documents : For instance if you are asked to upload your birth certificate, don’t upload that which you received from the hospital. Upload the birth certificate you obtained from the government (population commission).
3.Misplaced Names/Titles: This is always seen during bulk applications. Giving the title of a document to another portrays unseriousness and carelessness
4.Laziness:Giving your document. to someone to apply for you can be detrimental due to the fact that no one can take care of your matters more than you. I indulge all undergraduates to apply by themselves or be present during the application.
5.Lateness: Others are late applications, double applications, funny email address like starboy@mail.com using your nickname for an official matter.
