college scholarship

[alerk323]

I'm putting my scholarship plus deans list in an "academic award" activity section. Are you guys putting the amount of your scholarship. Mine was 6,500 a year, which was pretty nice, but I was told not to put the monetary number on the application. Is there any reasons not too? It was juts called the presidential scholarship and was merit based, not really for anything specific.

I wouldn't put a scholarship unless it was competitive. Those merit scholarships are such that about 95% of people at most schools get them in some form. Dean's list is kind of another "eh" thing to put. They can probably deduce that kind of thing from your GPA. If you're set on putting it, I would say list it as one item and detail which semesters you were awarded DL in the description.

Shouldn't need to list the monetary amount.

No need to list the monetary amount. Mine was titled Collegiate Honors and Awards and had the following description (brackets indicate changes from actual):

Featured college graduate in [Newspaper], [Insert State]'s statewide newspaper
[Web Link Here]

Graduated cum laude

Dean's List: Spring 2009, Spring 2010, Fall 2010, Spring 2012

Cancer for College: Pacific Northwest Scholarship - Awarded for the 2011-2012 academic year

Dr. Robert C. Neerhout Memorial Scholarship - Four-year renewable award from Candlelighters, a childhood cancer organization

[University] Competitive Scholarship: 1st place in Computer Science - Four-year award

[University] Trustee Scholarship - Four-year award given to incoming freshmen based on high school achievements

I figure if you do not list things there is no way for a medical school to know. The dean's list was probably redundant to graduating cum laude and the last one listed is one of those scholarships handed out to basically everyone entering the school with like a 3.75+ GPA and a decent SAT from high school.
