<p>I won a corporate scholarship last year ($2500+) and I want to list it on the common app. The scholarship was open to both college and high school students (who's parents work at the company, obviously) and only 15% were winners.</p>
<p>If I don't include it on the common app, should I put it on my supplemental resume?</p>
<p>bump. Please help! I could really use some opinions.</p>
<p>If it’s a narrow field of applicants, based on a parent’s place of work, I would consider it “filler”. But sometimes it shows proactively going after college funds.
I was under the impression that they meant awards: athletic, academic, community, etc.</p>
<p>@aunt_bea, I think my scholarship was pretty competitive. Only 16% of those who applied won the award. Also, I’d like to emphasize that I was competiting against undergrads and grad students, most of whom had accomplished much more than I had. </p>
<p>The reason I want to list this scholarship is that I only have two (prestigious) individual awards: National Merit SF and Semifinalist in a science olympiad. I have a couple of other awards, but all of them are team based. Based on my situtation, should I include the scholarship on my common app and explain the award’s significance in my additional resume?</p>
<p>i have the same issue. i am a semifinalist for that psat merit thing and i dont know if i should put it</p>
<p>If you have nothing else to put, then it can’t hurt.</p>
<p>@OperaDad, that’s my problem. I have 8 fairly prestigious awards including the scholarship. Half of the awards are individual and the other half are team-based. Should I list the scholarship?</p>
<p>I’d list half individual and half team-based.</p>
<p>I think it is GOOD to have proof you can work well in a group.</p>
<p>The method you choose to pick WHICH among these is up to you.</p>
<p>Let’s say it was a contest where you won a trophy instead of a scholarship. Would you list it?</p>
<p>In the team based awards, were you a significant part of the team? If one was not, I would list the scholarship.</p>
