Various scholarship/">scholarships are provided by Google every year, some of the Scholarship Google provides are listed below along with details. We have also written down a few points to successfully hunt down scholarships in general which can be useful for Scholarship Google too.
- Use a scholarship matching tool. There’s really no limit to the different types of scholarships that are
available to college students. Browse sites such as the US Department of Labor free scholarship tool,
depending upon the country, most governments have central repository of scholarships to show you dozens of categories of scholarships. - Consider studying and retaking ACT/SAT.GRE/GATE/TEFEL Raising your score a few points can mean thousands of dollars.
- Build your resume’. Keep track of all your community involvement, awards and honors, extracurricular activities, and employment. Few MOOCS that are specific to your course can help show your level of interest in the field of study.
- Volunteer in your community! Volunteering can be a key factor in getting some scholarships because it
demonstrates your community involvement and leadership skills. - Start applying early! You don’t need to wait until your junior year. Getting a head start gives you more
time to research the ones that are worth your time and energy. Many scholarships have limited funds.
That means the earlier you apply, the better the opportunity you will have before that budget runs out. - Stay organized. Set up a calendar, spreadsheet, or filing system to help you Keep track of deadlines, and
a place to put transcripts, test scores, and reference letters for easy access. - Meet with your counselor and/or career coach. Build a relationship with your school counselor/career
coach early in your high school career because they can be a great resource to help you find scholarships
that are tailored to you, narrow your search, provide feedback on your essay, and conduct mock
interviews. - Search the financial aid web pages at the schools you are serious about attending.
- Utilize your own network. Let teachers, coaches, and anyone in your network know that you are looking for
scholarships. There may be several local scholarships that are not well advertised. Check in directly with
local foundations, community organizations, and local businesses to see if they offer any scholarships,
too. - Improve your online presence. Highlight your strengths and interests. If the person who is reviewing your scholarship application decides to Google your name, have your best version of yourself online!
- Look beyond your grades. Before you start filling out the forms, think about what makes you uniquely qualified and deserving of that scholarship. Your passion will shine through when it comes time to write about your extracurricular activities.
- Collect letters of recommendation. They could include your employer, teachers, coaches, high school
counselors, or other adults who can testify to your strengths, qualifications, and ambition. Provide a
resume’ along with any other key information such as your strengths and future plans. Ask for multiple
copies. Be sure to write them a thank you for taking the time to help you! - Apply for many scholarships, both big and small. Make applying to scholarships your new mindset and
habit. Set a goal to apply to one or two each month, starting sophomore year. This will put you ahead of
the curve! - Write a great essay. Don’t be afraid to apply for a scholarship that requires an essay because a well written essay can be your ticket to standing out from the crowd. If you don’t have great writing skills, consider working with an advisor or teacher. You may be able to reuse portions of your essay for more than one scholarship application. Just be careful to follow the scholarship rules, including essay word count. The most important thing to remember is to answer the question that’s being asked.
- Practice your interviewing skills. Practice answering questions about your background, interests, achievements, and aspirations.
