Seeking Cappex scholarships for international students

I heard there might be scholarships available through Cappex for international students. Has anyone successfully applied for these, and do you have tips on maximizing my chances of getting one?

First and foremost, it's important to mention that Cappex has rebranded and is now known as Appily. Therefore, you'll need to visit Appily to search for scholarships.

As for any general approach to scholarships, it's important to emphasize that each scholarship has its own application process and requirements, so it's essential to carefully review the details for each one. A typical scholarship application might require things like an essay, financial information, academic transcripts, or letters of recommendation.

To increase your chances of securing a scholarship, you should aim to submit well-rounded applications that clearly demonstrate your qualifications and your need for financial assistance. Be mindful of writing the best possible essays - ones that are personal, detailed, and free from grammatical errors - as these can be especially influential in the selection process. It's usually beneficial to have others read over your work before submitting it, as they might catch errors or suggest improvements that you've overlooked.

Finally, it's always a good strategy to apply to a range of scholarships, not just those for international students or the highest-value ones. There are typically fewer applicants for smaller, more niche scholarships, which could increase your chances of winning one. Keeping an organized schedule of application deadlines can be helpful in managing multiple scholarship applications.

Remember, don’t get discouraged if you don’t receive a scholarship the first time you apply. It often takes several attempts, and the experience you gain each time will help you refine your approach for future applications. Additionally, you should aim to stay diligent, optimistic, and persistent throughout the process.
