Feeling a little stressed right now because tuition seems really overwhelming. I recently found out about the MyMozaic Scholarship. Has anyone here won it or know someone who has? Any tips would be really helpful!
The MyMozaic Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship, and the main evaluation criterion is the overall quality of the student's MyMozaic profile.
The student profile is judged based on the following points:
1. High School Transcript: Make sure you have high grades as the scholarship committee emphasizes academic success.
2. Extra-Curricular Activities: Display a range of activities to show that you're well-rounded. having a leadership role in a club (Tier 3) or being student body president or playing in state orchestra (Tier 2) can help strengthen your profile.
3. Community Service: Display any volunteer work or community involvement, as this shows your commitment to your community.
4. Work Experience: If you have any job experiences, internships, or substantial independent projects, such as starting your own business, these can add value to your profile.
Remember, clear organization and appealing presentation of the information can make your profile stand out. The quality of content on your profile generally trumps the sheer quantity, so instead of packing your profile with every little thing you've ever done, focus on highlighting your most significant achievements or experiences. For instance, you might devote more space to talking about your experience as an editor on your school's newspaper, rather than just listing off every club you joined freshman year.
The winners are chosen on a monthly basis, so make sure you update your profile regularly and submit it before the end of each month.
Last but not least, make sure to abide by the Terms and Conditions detailed on the MyMozaic website. For instance, any signs of dishonesty can disqualify your application.
Good luck with your application to the MyMozaic scholarship as you navigate ways to manage your tuition expenses!
