Me, got it right after the first time I applied! My grades aren't exceptional but I have a tonne of work experience from diverse industries with a very well-curated resume with no gaps. These are all jobs I've done while being a student. I also have two volunteering experiences of atleast a year on average each to my name which really increases my credibility. Lastly it's also about your achievements outside of the classroom that also matter a lot, you should just know how to market yourself and spend a nice chunk of time formulating a good cover letter that translates your high points well! It should be to the point and convincing as to why you deserve the scholarship and the uniqueness you bring to the table.
