Researching Scholarships for Low CGPA
Provide guidance on how students can effectively search for scholarships that consider factors beyond CGPA. Encourage them to explore various sources such as private organizations, community foundations, non-profit organizations, and government-funded programs. Emphasize the importance of reading eligibility criteria thoroughly to identify scholarships that prioritize other aspects like leadership skills, community involvement, or specific talents.
Highlighting Non-Academic Achievements
If your CGPA is lower than you’d like it to be, it’s crucial to emphasize your other strengths and achievements. Highlight your extracurricular activities, work experience, internships, and any relevant projects. Admissions committees often consider these factors when awarding scholarships.
Write a compelling personal statement that explains your passion for your chosen field of study, your future goals, and how the scholarship will help you achieve them. Make sure your application showcases your determination, commitment, and potential for success.
