I have a scholarship interview this monday and I dont know what to do!!?

Question

Its my first time and Im not really a good person to interview. Im guessing they'll ask something about WHY im taking the scholarship and such.. what would you say?

Answer 1

Congrats!

Now RELAX! :)

Scholarship interviews are simple. Your interviewers are just people, like you and me that want to know more about you.

Be confident in who you are and what you like.

Mainly they'll ask you about your hobbies, interests, future goals/plans.

They'll ask you why you want to go to this college.

You KNOW the answers to the questions they are going to ask you, so don't freak out.

Just try to show them how awesome and unique you are.

Don't stress on your good grades or high test scores, they already know about them. Stress the unique things about you.

**DRESS APPROPRIATELY!***

Appearance does matter. You don't have to go in a suit if you're not that type of person, but dress pants and a dressy top are good. You want to show them how important this is and that you care.

There's also 2 other things you can do to set yourself apart from the others. Email me and I'll let you know! Trust me you want to know! It's how I got a full ride to college :)

Good Luck!

Answer 2

The interview will mostly focus on why you should be the one to get this scholarship. Your answers should emphasize everything that is awesome about you and show that, despite the fact that you meet the scholarship criteria, you are entirely different from everyone else that applied. Use everything in your arsenal - if you speak more than one language, tell them that. If you know how to ride a motorcycle, tell them! Anything that separates you from the rest :)

Good luck!
