Make sure you have provided everything that is asked for. If you can, find out about the organisation that is awarding the scholarship and try to tailor your application according to their vision and goals. Make sure you choose a referee that best suits the application e.g. if you are applying for a sports scholarship, ask a coach.
Be timely
Submit your application well before or by the closing date. Also make sure that your referees know the closing date

application for any missed mistakes!
1. Some of the requested documents are not attached (i.e. missing forms or references) 2. The documents requested are not supplied in the correct format requested 3. Page(s) of the scholarship application are not filled in 4. Applicants do not read the questions properly and thus provide inappropriate or irrelevant responses - this is instant rejection territory, so be sure to answer the questions, every time. 5. Applicants skip questions that they think don’t apply to them. If you are asked a question, you must answer it in some way. 6. Applicants do not supply their full and correct address and email contact addresses. 7. The applicants handwriting is illegible. Always write clearly and in block letters. 8. Inappropriate referee used, such as a parent or sibling. 9. Referee not meeting the submission deadline - this is more common than you think.
These scholarships are available to students who are in their first year out of school (or after a GAP year - check the regulations!) Other titles of scholarships to look out for -
