When students start thinking about scholarships they tend to think of only the most common ones and also those offered by large companies. This means that close to a million others will also be applying for that very same scholarship each year. Almost every college and university awards at least one scholarship every year. So instead of go after the scholarships that everyone knows about try looking for scholarships offered by your school. This will eliminate a lot of competition.

A very low percentage of students apply for institutional scholarships so this leaves the door wide open for you. Only a few of these will be full scholarships. But no matter how big or small the scholarship is just remember that every bit helps.

The application process for institutional scholarships is not different than the application process for outside scholarships. But remember that the qualifications and guidelines for every scholarship are different. Make sure you understand everything before you start filling things in.

There are many benefits associated with applying for institution offered scholarships. The first benefit is that you will not have to wait as long to get an answer. Not a lot of students apply for these scholarships so they can sort through them rather quickly and give you an answer within a few weeks instead of months.

Another advantage is that you will get the chance to a chance to understand how the scholarship and grant system works within your school. Even if you don't get it you will still have learned some very important information which you can us when applying for the scholarship the next time around.

When it comes to institutional scholarships you really have nothing to lose. Though applying can be a tedious task it all turns out to be well worth it in the end.
