Qualification

Answer:

That's a great question—and it's important to know how the scholarship process usually works so you can stay informed and ready.

Here’s how you’ll typically know if you qualify for a scholarship and if you’ve been awarded one:

✅ How You Know You Qualify

After you apply for a scholarship, the organization will review your application to check if you meet their eligibility criteria. This can include:

• Your educational background
• Your financial need
• Your grades or achievements
• Sometimes, your community involvement or leadership

Most scholarships will not tell you immediately if you qualify—they will first review all applications. But some scholarships will send an email confirming that your application has been received and that you're being considered.

🎉 How You Know You’ve Been Awarded

If you are selected for a scholarship, the organization will officially notify you, usually through:

1. Email – Most common method. Make sure to check your inbox and spam folder regularly.
2. Phone Call or SMS – Some local scholarships in Tanzania or Africa-wide may call or text you directly.
3. Official Letter – Some scholarships will send you a formal acceptance letter, especially for government or university-based scholarships.
4. Portal Notification – If you applied through an online portal (like HELSB), they might post your results there.

📌 What You Should Do:

• Keep checking your email regularly
• Note the scholarship deadlines and decision dates (they are usually listed on the scholarship website or application form)
• Follow up politely if it's been a long time (usually more than 1–2 months after the deadline) and you haven’t heard anything
• Keep a copy of your application and submission confirmation
