Scholarship applications: reading the fine print

Applying for scholarships can be exciting—after all, they open doors to new opportunities and help reduce the financial burden of education. But before hitting “submit,” it’s important to pause and carefully read the fine print.

Every scholarship has its own rules, requirements, and expectations. Some may require a certain GPA, while others might ask for community service hours or commitment to a specific field of study. Overlooking these details can mean disqualification or even unexpected obligations later.

At T&T Girls, we remind students that paying close attention to deadlines, eligibility criteria, and renewal terms can make all the difference. Scholarships aren’t just about funding—they’re about building partnerships with organizations that want to invest in your future. By slowing down and reviewing the details, you’ll apply with confidence and maximize your chances of success.
