Be sure to apply for a scholarship, even if you are not confident you will receive it. Many students choose not to apply to these because they think they are not eligible. As a result, these scholarships and bursaries are unawarded because not enough students applied. You have nothing to lose if you apply for a bursary or scholarship, so do not give up!   Make sure to be informed of what steps you must take to be eligible. Everyone knows how important research can be. Even if you hold the requirements, it is important to read each step carefully when applying, as some schools can be very strict if important information is not included.   Ask for help from others. There is nothing wrong with asking for help from others, especially if it is something important as scholarships and bursaries. Many students should take the advantage of and help needed to gain help and support from others, However, keep in mind that it should be the student applying to mainly write their work, as using the work of someone else counts as plagiarism.   Be sure to keep an eye on a scholarship or Bursary deadline. Much like school or work, deadlines are an important aspect to pay attention to, and Scholarships and Bursaries are no exception. If a student chooses to apply, be mindful of deadlines. Many schools are not lenient when it comes to deadlines such as this, so it is important to respect their time and requests.   Check everything in your application and document to make sure it is the best quality it can be. Much like a job application or cover letter, it is important to read everything and make sure it has no flaws to make it professional. Some flaws could include grammar, spelling, sentence structures and paragraphs, and more.   Most of all, do not worry or stress if you do not meet your expectations of getting a scholarship or bursary. For many students, applying can easily be full of pressure and stress. Remember
