  • Scholarship is not for the Brightest students only
  • You cannot win a scholarship unless you take the first step to apply.
  • While it is generally true that many institutions have lots of bursaries/funds  available, someone must apply to the specific category to be awarded the scholarship. Be convinced that there is scholarship funding out there waiting for you.  This is a bitter truth anyways.
  • Do not insist on applying for larger sum scholarship funds.  Ten bursaries of of $1000 each can make a  lot difference. And more so by applying for more, you expand your opportunities.  $ 500 dollars  award can buy you most of the books you need and can also take care of contingencies. The bottom line is that you should not limit your self
