MAJOR SCHOLARSHIPS
MAJOR SCHOLARSHIPS often have a more detailed application process. For example, they may have an essay component, require more reference letters, and include interviews. These scholarships are often renewable, meaning they offer money over multiple years (typically up to 4 years). Each scholarship has unique requirements that must be met to have it renewed for each of the following years. For example, maintaining a specified minimum GPA.
ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIPS Many universities/colleges offer their own Entrance Scholarships/Awards so check their websites to determine whether you have to apply separately or if you are automatically considered when you apply to the school.
