Students Who Apply for Every Scholarship Without Reading Requirements/Preferences

DeborahClark

Hello … we are a Community Foundation that has 30 online scholarship processes. We have a number of students who copy and paste their application into almost all of the available processes without ever looking at the requirements and/or preferences. It is not feasible to go with a Universal Application, as every process has its specific details.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Does anyone have suggestions on how to convey to students to look at what they're applying for and not just blanket applying?

Thanks in advance!
