4) Ask the right questions

You can’t be sure that you’re asking the right questions until you understand what you’re looking for this is why you need to ask the right question but, not every question will lead you to a solid answer. 

Also the perfect questions you are to ask are those that can help narrow down your search by providing accurate and specific information. 

For example, don’t just look at scholarships open to all Canadians; find out which ones are specifically geared towards undergraduates who want to pursue a career in science or engineering. 

Ask yourself if you have any connection with the institution offering the scholarship for example: does it hail from your hometown or is it related to something about which you have expertise? as some scholarship providers even require that applicants live within a certain distance of their university or work closely with them through volunteering opportunities or internships. 

By asking the right questions, you’ll be able to identify scholarship providers that are worthy of your time and attention.

if you’re applying for an undergraduate scholarship and have no connection with your potential institution, it may not be worth applying unless someone is willing to pay for your tuition. 

This can sometimes be a friend or family member; other times it can come from a mentor or internship program. 

If this isn’t the case, then chances are good that they won’t consider you as seriously as they would if they knew more about your background. 

Some things to think about when it comes to college applications include: grades, SAT scores, extracurricular activities and volunteer experience. 

If these areas do not mesh well with the award provider’s criteria then again, don’t waste your time.
