One of the biggest advantages of the mobile app is its accessibility and convenience. I can browse scholarship opportunities and keep up with applications directly from my phone. This is especially helpful when I am away from my laptop/ have a busy schedule. Although I personally prefer the website, especially when writing longer essays or completing detailed applications, I still use the app frequently because of how convenient it is.
Another major advantage is the excellent customer service. Every time I have contacted Bold.org with a question or concern, I have received a prompt response and a solution. Having access to a responsive and helpful support team makes a significant difference, especially when dealing with scholarship applications and deadlines.
My biggest advice to other students is to complete your Bold.org profile in its entirety. Upload a profile picture and be as specific as possible about your educational background, experiences, interests and goals. Some scholarships have very specific eligibility requirements, which may result in a smaller pool of eligible applicants. The information you include in your profile can help you identify opportunities that align with your qualifications.
One area I would love to see improved is the availability of scholarships for graduate students. As an undergraduate student, I noticed that I had significantly more scholarship opportunities to choose from. Now that I am pursuing my master’s degree, I have found the selection to be much smaller. I would love to see Bold.org expand its graduate scholarship offerings, especially since graduate education can be incredibly expensive.
Another improvement I would suggest is awarding Bold Points every time a student submits a scholarship application. Applying for scholarships takes time and effort, especially when essays and other application materials are required. I think students should receive points for their efforts, regardless of whether they are selected as winners. This would be a great way to recognize their commitment and encourage them to continue applying, even when they experience rejection.
Finally, I want to encourage anyone who feels discouraged by the number of applicants. As with any scholarship platform, the odds may sometimes seem like they are not in your favor. I felt the same way when I started applying. However, you lose nothing by trying! You cannot win a scholarship you never apply for. Bold.org has helped me tremendously, and I genuinely believe it is worth the effort. Complete your profile, apply consistently and give yourself a chance. You never know which scholarship application might change your educational journey, and consequently your life.
