How to Apply for Scholarships

Follow the TeenBridge-recommended 5-step approach to stand out and apply smartly:

1

Identify your strengths — academics, talent, community work or need-based eligibility.

2

Check eligibility carefully — age, class, nationality, documents required.

3

Prepare documents — report card, ID, certificates, essays, recommendation letters.

4

Apply before deadlines — late applications are automatically rejected.

5

Stay safe — TeenBridge only lists verified scholarships. Never pay money to “unlock” or “confirm” a scholarship.
