These videos are always super helpful. I actually just shared a similar one, but these videos have helped me find scholarships I didn't know to apply to before. I was thankfully also able to get $20k in private scholarships in 4 months! Applying to local scholarships really helps!
OMG THATS AMAZING!!! I’m so so happy for you!!!!
Local scholarships really help not helps. Scholarships is plural so you use help.
@@sharonyeunkim fastweb seems like a scam because I never received anything even though my GPA and everything else was great

Congrats! 🎉
Thank you so much!! This is extremely helpful, especially knowing that i can use the same story for each one, it is a big time saver. I will definitely lean more into my niches now. I use to always apply to the generic ones and never win.
Yes!! Definitely more specific the better.
Love this!!
new subscriber! I’m also looking to study UX Design at UT Austin this fall, I’ll be binge watching your videos:)
Awesome! I appreciate it :)
This is really great advice! Your video has definitely been the most helpful of any scholarship advice I have found on the internet so far. This is motivating me to begin applying to more scholarships again!
I’m so glad! Checking comments first time in a bit and I’m glad it’s been useful for you :)
This was so helpful, thank you for the video😢
My pleasure ❤️✨
You inspire me so much! I have been accepted to a graduate program and am trying to find as many scholarship opportunities as possible. I'd like to hear more about how to write winning essays! Also, it seems that the OTEFE Foundation webpage doesn't exist anymore. Is this always this way or are they not offering scholarships anymore?
Hi Jiwan! Thanks so much for the note that is so kind of you! I'll be scripting how to write essays soon :) Also, I checked for OTEFE~ it seems the webpage is working fine? So weird it's not...I would google OTEFE foundation in Google then maybe it might show up there.
Thx for your info!! Love ya
My pleasure :)))
I was able to win a scholarship because of these tips. Thank you very much
What are your thoughts on video contests? I've got my eye on a few of those (such as making a drunk driving psa, defining "your life in a box", etc) because while I'm a capable essay writer, I'm an art student and love any excuse to get creative
Thank you!
Good info thank you
For a lot of these scholarships did you have to make an account cause I see a lot of things where you have to make an account the I get bombarded with so many emails I can’t keep up with
I have applied to 70 scholarships and only won one through my university. It's discouraging. any tips on how to keep going?
Hi Adanna! For sure. I think then at that point it's not a matter of quantity of how many scholarships you applied to but the quality of your application.
You do not need to have stellar grades but I would look at the strength of your essays (assuming you had to write essays?) and try to make them stronger (better storytelling). I don't know if you did this but all the scholarships I won were specifically for Koreans. Perhaps that principle can apply to you as well.
I'll make a video explaining how I wrote my scholarship essays.
@@sharonyeunkimbruh what bs advice “ write better “ “ be korean “ scholarships are such bs you’ll apply to 150 and be awarded nothing it’s literally a dam scratch off
@@Akac3sh it's because there's only so much you can fit into a single CZcams comment lol.
The point is not to win every single one but to increase your changes. Niching down is an effective way to do that via leaning into anything that can be more unique to you. There could even be local scholarships only offered in your town, school, city. Doesn't have to be ethnic-based at all. I just applied to a lot of those because there was a lot out there and there's nothing wrong with utilizing opportunities others went out of their way to create for you to apply to :)
@@Akac3sh girl bye. What other advice do you want her to give? Stop taking it out on her as if she’s in charge of the scholarships. And sorry but she’s right,, if that person lost 69 scholarships, their writing was probably ass (or at least not done to the best of their abilities). And she didn’t say to be Korean, she meant to apply to ones that are more specific to you whether it’s your race, orientation, etc.
This was inspiring ❤
this really helped me my senior year
So glad to hear! Which part?
what do you do when you have no story to tell? when you've not nothing extraordinary, when your life hasn't been extraordinary, when your own story is told over and over again by the other in your community because it's so common and is at this point overused? I've had no spectacular achievements, just the same ones that nearly everyone at my level has had. like I'm completely average among the others go to school with (I'm a 2nd year college student)
Since that’s a major basis of merit based scholarships, prioritize those/initiate some of those activities ASAP. Just because you haven’t done it yet, doesn’t mean it’s too late to start! If not, try for need based.
How should I keep track of getting back to schlarships to see my placing and possible winnings??
I used a spreadsheet.
Can you help me to get in scholarship i m find 5 months to scholarship i have finicial issue i have dream to study abroad and discover new cultures but i dont know how to i get schlorship 😢
Hello! I am a junior rn and i am currently unsure if i should focus on scholarships that more closely align with my intended major or purely monetary ones. I have alr applied to one more biology focused, and one just for money scholarship. At this point in time while im still building my resume which one should i devote my time to?
Why not both? But if you had to choose I think you'd have a better change with biology because it's more specific to you.
@@sharonyeunkim Thank you!
What are some of the best sites for scholarships?
If you win a scholarship and it goes to your school, if you made enough in scholarships to pay the cost of tuition that semester, will it still be able to stay in your account for the following semester?
Well if it covers the cost for the first semester, then whatever is leftover will do so.
when she gorgeous and smart uwu
Hey, could you share your essay?
Very helpful!
Glad you found it useful!
Math doesn’t add up. You said 17000 dollars total. Then stated 10k, 25k,and 2k
What do you do if your white?!?
More than ethnicity or background, point is to niche down into what could make you different. Could even be a local scholarship only offered to people in your city/school. Or women’s only scholarship for example. Doesn’t have to just be ethnicity- I just happened to find a lot of scholarships based on that as an example
@@sharonyeunkimAhh okay thank you for clarifying. Would you have any recommendations for how to find scholarships that our more hidden then just a simple google search?
What do you do with all the excess money? What happens if you have 5k MORE than you need?
If it’s a government one you probably have to return it- if not, save it for a rainy day.
@@sharonyeunkimif it’s private is it for keeps
This is an outlier
So you leveraged your race. Great to see discrimination is truly still alive in the US and perpetuated by the people that claim to be against it.
ewww british
If so many White men and Women were not in positions of power it would not be needed. Since leveraging the WHITE race has been the advantage for centuries across the globe.
LOL stay mad
A lot of scholarships are PRIVATE, so the entity/company chooses who can apply. Is it discriminatory for a museum to offer a scholarship to aspiring history majors and not everyone ? No. You can literally get scholarships based on your religion. NO EXCUSES.
