Inside the Scholarship Mindset: What Reviewers Look for with Scholarships360

In this episode of the NSHSS Scholars Connect Podcast, we’re joined by Will Geiger, the Co-founder and CEO of Scholarships360, to uncover one of the most common questions students ask: What are scholarship reviewers really looking for?    Drawing from years of experience in admissions and scholarship selection, Will breaks down the application process, shares insider insight on how decisions are made, and offers clear, actionable advice to help students stand out in a competitive pool.    We’ll explore what makes a compelling essay, how to showcase impact even with limited experience, and the qualities that make scholarship committees take notice. This episode is a practical roadmap for students who want to build confidence in their applications and for parents and educators who want to support them more effectively.   Check out Scholarships360 at https://scholarships360.org/ Learn more about NSHSS scholarships at https://www.nshss.org/scholarships/
