Hi guys
In my activities section, for example, my research, I combined the research scholarship I received with my work accomplished. However, seeing the extra "achievements" section in AACOMAS confused me. Do I take the scholarship out of my research description and only list it separately in achievements, or do I leave it and list it twice? But have different reflections?
The same goes for awards that I have earned for different positions. I combined them with the experience description but I don't want my achievements section to be empty.

Any advice would be extremely helpful!

Also, thank you to everyone so kind in helping me navigate the AACOMAS application !
