Hi guys! So, I received an award from my country for my work in one of my extracurricular activities, but I’m not quite sure where to mention it. I was wondering if there is any place to put awards you’ve received for an activity other than the description box that they give? There’s not enough space for me to include the award AND a description of the activity and without the description the award wouldn’t really make sense. I know there’s a space where you can put awards/honors in the “education” section of your profile, but it says it’s only for academic awards.
Hello kbn2015, yes the education section is usually just for academic awards. So the place to put the award is under the activities section, or if the description is needed and requires some amount of word count space, I believe you can upload a resume according to some colleges where you can showcase that award. Hope this helps alittle.
@dreamitdoit thank you! Unfortunately, the colleges I’m applying to do not allow me to upload a resume Maybe I should include it in the additional info section?
Yes, you can say “(see additional info)” under the activity.
Okay, thank you!
