Scholarship Success Stories

Success Stories
"I was waitlisted at the University of Oklahoma whose automatic admission
this year was 1170 on the SAT. I scored an 1140. I did not meet their waitlist
qualifications . . . Based on what I learned from you [Marianne Ragins] I took
the initiative to include with my application, my résumé, three reference
letters, and a personal statement of why I wanted to attend their university.
The Admissions Director later told me my application stood out. He
earmarked my application, placing me number one on their waitlist because
of my application presentation and its focus on community involvement. In
fact he chose me and ten other out-of-state students out of 4000 applicants
for the President's Leadership Class even when I was still on the waitlist. If I
had not sent in the additional materials, my community involvement would
not have been recognized and I would have been denied admission.
Because of your advice, I not only have admission to the college where I
really wanted to go, I also have the privilege to serve and learn from the
president of the university in his leadership class, along with a $13,500
scholarship . . . I watched my brother and sister who were ranked number
one in their high school class achieve great scholarship success from
following your advice. . . I really didn't think I could qualify for anything with a
bottom 50% class rank . . . But I presented my platform of what I could do
well . . . followed your advice . . . and was rewarded immensely for my
achievements . . . You challenged me that there was something out there for
everyone. There really is."

"My son Marcus was accepted to a private university that cost $15,000 per
year in tuition alone. The university did not offer any types of scholarships to
him. After learning of this, Marcus and I started preparing and organizing
information based on Marianne Ragins' book, Winning Scholarships for
College: An Insider's Guide, and her workshop. Using this information, we
were able to get enough scholarship money to pay for his entire tuition bill."

"I would like you to know what a difference your book, Winning Scholarships
for College: An Insider's Guide has made to me and my son. After reading
your advice, we began to collect data about college and financial aid. Greg
(my son) was beginning his junior year last fall when we found out about a
scholarship sponsored by a local celebrity. . . Due to the preparation you
recommended, we were ready to send in all of the necessary information by
the deadline. In December, Greg was awarded $2500 to be used at the
college of his choice. That same month using the same carefully prepared
information, he was given a $3500 grant."

"Dear Ms. Ragins, I wanted to tell you thank you for coming to speak at
Northeastern University. The seminar was excellent . . . Thanks to you Ms.
Ragins, I will be starting a part-time schedule in the fall."

L.J. Martin, Workshop Attendee


"The most important aspect of The Scholarship Workshop was the
encouragement given by Ms. Ragins to keep applying for scholarships. I
have applied for 17 scholarships and have been inspired by her strategies
to create and send along with my applications a résumé. Because of this I
have already been offered a part-time job at a bank. I sent them my
scholarship application along with my résumé and they called and asked
me if I would be interested in working part-time for them."

Ragins` accomplishments and fame, which inspired me to acquire
scholarships to help fund my college education. . . important aspects of the
workshop were scholarship research processes, organization skills, and
essay writing techniques. I learned to explore libraries, the Internet, and
outside sources. Through my research, I discovered and applied to many
scholarships for which I met the criteria."

Scholarship Tips

Review the following habits of scholarship winners for tips on how you can
make your scholarship quest successful.


• Successful students always remember the five P’s – Prior
  preparation prevents poor performance. Prepare for the scholarship
  search early. Do not wait until your senior year.
  

• Successful students do not rely on their parents to do all the work.
  

• Successful students vigorously avoid mistakes on their essays and
  applications. They always spell-check, proofread, and allow one
  other person to proofread their applications and essay for errors.
  

• Successful students do not ignore scholarships that may be local or
  those for small amounts. Scholarship amounts, even as small as
  $50, can add up.
  

• Successful students do not rely on only one source such as the
  Internet for their scholarship search. They use many resources.
  Many scholarships on the Internet or in the free scholarship
  searches that you find on the World Wide Web are nationally known
  and are harder to win due to greater competition. Local and regional
  scholarships are not found as easily through an Internet search,
  although they may be easier to win because the applicant pool is
  smaller. You have to use a combination of resources to find as
  many scholarships to apply for as possible.
  

• Successful students market themselves well. In their applications,
  they highlight positive aspects about their lives, especially
  community involvement.
  

• Successful students do not apply to one or two scholarships and
  wait for the best. They apply for all scholarships they are eligible to
  win. They keep applying until the total they have won exceeds what
  they need to pay for the college they want to attend or until they
  graduate with a degree.
  

• Successful students are organized. They keep track of deadlines
  and materials required to complete an application.
  

• Successful students are well rounded. They participate in
  extracurricular and community activities. They write about these
  activities in scholarship and college essays in a descriptive
  manner. They try to benefit others as well as themselves with the
  extracurricular and community activities in which they are involved.
  

• Successful students understand that SAT scores and grades alone
  do not win most scholarships. Scholarship programs look at many
  factors such as community activities, leadership, presentation of
  your application package, special or unusual talents or skills, etc.
  

• Successful students do not look for the easy way out. It is harder for
  them to believe in a scholarship scam that promises to do all the
  work for them. They understand that those things for which we work
  hardest often bring the greatest rewards. Hard work in the
  scholarship process as a high school student could result in an
  easy college life without work later, or a loan-free life after college.
  

Avoid These Most Common Mistakes Made on College and Scholarship
Applications

1. Not following directions
2. Missing the deadline
3. Not typing your application or sending in a sloppy application
4. Forgetting to spell check and to proofread after you spell check
5. Not including information such as a transcript or recommendation
6. Not answering the essay question or another question asked.
