The most common is that they are hard to get. Many people believe that the chances are slim, about 1 in a million, but that is not the case at all. The truth is, the more scholarships that students apply for, the greater the chances of actually getting a scholarship. Additionally, there are numerous myths about scholarships. One of those various legends is that grades and SAT scores are the only factors you need to worry about for winning scholarships. In reality, having good grades and high SAT scores are definitely important. However, there needs to be participation and some type of extracurricular activity such as a club or sport, and as well as involvement in the community to win scholarships. Also showing participation and involvement in a student résumé and an essay will help. The misconceptions about Scholarships and Financial Aid are endless.
