Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Social Media Tips for Scholarship Applicants

Scholarships can make a meaningful difference in helping you manage the cost of your education. As more scholarship providers use online tools in their review process, it is important to be mindful of how your public online presence may reflect who you are and what matters to you.

The tips below are meant to help you feel confident, prepared, and informed as you apply.

  1. Be Honest and Authentic
    Always complete your scholarship application honestly and thoughtfully. Some providers may review publicly available information online to learn more about applicants. Being consistent across your application and your online presence helps build trust and shows integrity.
  2. Showcase Your Strengths
    Your social media presence can be a positive extension of your story. Posts that reflect your interests, goals, achievements, and community involvement can highlight your strengths and personality. Scholarship providers often appreciate seeing genuine examples of creativity, leadership, and communication.
  3. Take Time to Review Your Profiles
    Before applying, it is a promising idea to review your public profiles and remove content that could be misunderstood or reflect poorly on you. Even small updates—like adjusting privacy settings or removing outdated posts—can help ensure your online presence represents you in the best light.
