All three are equally important and potent in helping you get that scholarship faster!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How Many Is Too Many?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ok, so let\u2019s imagine a scenario where you apply for a scholarship, and your buddy applies for another one. You both have similar grades, scholarships\u2019 requirements are fairly similar, and \u2013 you don\u2019t get it, but your buddy does. What gives?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you didn\u2019t know was that your scholarship had 10,000 applicants, whereas your buddy\u2019s had measly 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At ScholarshipOwl, we often say that scholarships are a numbers game, and we mean that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, numbers are about to get much clearer. Because \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first new feature we launched is <\/span><b>the applicant count<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Follow the Count and Decide Where Your Best Chances Are<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5940\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/mobile-1.png\" alt=\"Win more scholarships\" width=\"231\" height=\"474\" \/>From now on you can, at any point, see how many students applied for the listed scholarships. Why is this important? Because you can immediately eye your chances and figure out if that scholarship is something you want to invest your time in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exciting? You bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Applicant Count Reveals Scholarships With Higher Chances of Winning, That Normally You Wouldn\u2019t Even Look At<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, as we followed scholarships on our website, we noticed an interesting trend \u2013 for example, there were scholarships with 7,000 applicants and then there were those with only 7 applicants, offering large sums of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the catch?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scholarship with 7 applicants had an extra requirement: you had to <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/apply-for-scholarships\/6-tips-to-writing-a-great-scholarship-essay\/\">write an essay<\/a>, and a lot of people gave up because of this. This also means that the people who decided to power through and write the essay unknowingly had significantly higher chances of winning the scholarship. Imagine if you knew from the start that only 7 people applied?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know this tweak, and it\u2019s a huge advantage over platforms that don\u2019t offer the applicant count. You might have given up in the past because of the essay; from now on, it\u2019s time for informed, intelligent decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not bad for starters, eh?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>It Is Important to Have a Tool That Checks Scholarships\u2019 Transparency<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second, equally important parameter we introduced is the <\/span><b>confidence score.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What does this mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, let\u2019s say you found a good scholarship that matches your profile. The applicant count is solid and you\u2019re thinking of applying. But&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You glance at the confidence score and it\u2019s only 12%. Ouch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The confidence score ranges from 0 to 100% and it shows how transparent a scholarship provider is. The higher the number, the safer the scholarship and lower the chances that you\u2019re wasting your time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5942 \" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/desktop-1.png\" alt=\"Win more scholarships\" width=\"802\" height=\"558\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Opting for Super Secure Scholarships Saves Time and Effort<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A special class within this feature are the so-called <\/span><b>verified scholarships<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These are scholarships with a 100% confidence score. Safe all the way? Yes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And how do we know? Because through our other product, the ScholarshipApp, we handle these scholarships and payments related to them, which means they are already in escrow and you will certainly (100%) get the funds if you win them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, this doesn\u2019t mean that every scholarship you apply to has to have a 100% confidence score &#8211; sometimes scholarship providers can\u2019t divulge all the information regarding their scholarship, for justified reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Knowing a Confidence Score Range Helps You Make Decisions Quickly<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good rule of thumb is this: scholarships with a confidence score lower than 35% haven\u2019t been most forthcoming in their communication with ScholarshipOwl, meaning &#8211; think carefully about these. These providers don\u2019t announce winners regularly so we at ScholarshipOwl cannot guarantee the winning payout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, any scholarship with a confidence score higher than 75% is a pretty safe bet. They announce winners regularly and ScholarshipOwl has open communication with them &#8211; we just don\u2019t handle their payments through ScholarshipApp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just be smart and selective. Confidence score and applicant count, combined, are a powerful way of pre-screening which scholarships you should devote time to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Pick Me, Pick Me &#8211; and Never Lose a Scholarship<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third feature has been on our platform for quite some time, but now it\u2019s redesigned \u2013 the ability to <\/span><b>pick scholarships<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And by pick, we mean save certain scholarships for later viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this useful? Well, maybe there are lots of requirements that need to be fulfilled. Or you aren\u2019t sure about the parameters you\u2019re seeing (applicant count and confidence score) and want to come back later and think clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, there\u2019s no need to apply right away. Sure, we need to respect deadlines, but for most scholarships, you can strategize and plan how, when and if you\u2019re going to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Putting It All Together &#8211; Recognize the Value and Use the Features to Your Advantage<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5943 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Kapture-2020-03-23-at-13.43.03.gif\" alt=\"Win more scholarships\" width=\"2880\" height=\"1364\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So now that you know all the cool and useful new features on our platform, how do you want to proceed?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, it\u2019s important to realize the time-saving value of these parameters. Where earlier you might have lost time, effort and energy, now you can be smarter about which scholarships to apply for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, make sure to utilize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all three features<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 they\u2019re there for you and to make your life easier, and your budget fuller, quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you do that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by looking at the applicant count and confidence score. Are there too many applicants? Is the confidence score satisfactory? Think about applying for scholarships with a high confidence score and a low number of applicants, since your chances for getting those scholarships are high(er). Finally, if you\u2019re unsure, use the scholarship picker to save the posting for later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, finally, have fun! These features are meant to help you but also to broaden your horizons and get you thinking in new, creative, more beneficial ways!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our platform and start leveraging these cool new tools to your benefit immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is time for new things, and do we have a few surprises in store!
