Scholarships provide numerous benefits beyond financial assistance. Winning an initial scholarship makes a student more competitive for additional scholarships by demonstrating their success. Each new scholarship helps to lead to the next by strengthening a student's record. Scholarships also give students an advantage when applying to competitive graduate programs and help make their resume stand out to potential employers. Additionally, scholarships connect students to people who may assist in their academic or professional careers through networking and mentorship opportunities built into some awards.

1. BENEFITS OF
SCHOLARSHIPS
It's not just about the money!
Once you win one scholarship, it's often
easier to win more. Students with a
previous award on their record
demonstrate success, and that can help
you win the next award. Then, you have
two on your record, and that helps win
the third, and so on. Each one is a
stepping stone to the next. In other
words, scholarships beget scholarships!
HELPS YOU WIN
MORE SCHOLARSHIPS
Having one or more scholarships on your
record can help give you the edge when
seeking admission to graduate school
and competitive programs such as
medicine and law.
HELPS YOU GET
ADMISSION TO
COMPETITIVE
PROGRAMS
Organizations want to hire winners.
Having one or more scholarships on your
resume demonstrates success. When
going for that competitive co-op
position, summer job, or first career
interview, a scholarship sets you apart
from other students who don't have
awards.
GETS YOU THE
INTERVIEW / JOB
Scholarships are reviewed by people, and
they are connected to other people. Some
of these people could help to further your
academic or professional career. Also,
some scholarships have networking and
mentorship built into them. These
additional perks are often more "valuable"
than the actual monetary award!
