Perfecting your application
ScholarEdge provides hands-on assistance in crafting your very best application. We will work closely with the student regarding fine-tuning their essay responses; helping them to decide who to ask for letters of recommendation; and formatting and finalizing their activity list; and -- most importantly – reviewing and re-reviewing their application until it meets your high expectations.
Prepping for the interview
Increasingly, students are interviewing both on-campus and with alumni for coveted spots in America’s top colleges and universities. Also, most major scholarship competitions require interviews that can be the difference between no money and tens of thousands of dollars for college. These are often anxiety-provoking and stress-filled events – but they don’t need to be. ScholarEdge can help students anticipate questions, and we can set up mock interviews until the student has the requisite comfort level and preparation.
