How should you list scholarships in your application? Should it be under one title and then listed in the descriptions? or should it be listed individually as each scholarship having it's own description?

I just put it all under one "Scholarships and Awards" heading last year. I listed each scholarship w/ the years of reception, and I didn't go into detail about them. I think it was fine; I had some interviewers say they were impressed with the list, and I think it helped that I kept it vague. I elaborated when they asked... but if they don't ask then the awards might seem more important than they really are (e.g. awards for < a thousand bucks, or something local).

I grouped them all together. I put a 1-2 line description under each one with what was needed to qualify like "research thesis + gpa" or "nationally competitive, required essay + gpa"
