First of all, academic performance is the most important and can be used as a standard. There are many kinds of scholarships in universities now. For example, my university has academic excellence scholarship, campus contribution scholarship and single-subject outstanding achievement award, in which both academic excellence award and single-subject outstanding achievement award are about achievement, while campus contribution award is based on the number of activities I participated in at school and the number of award-winning activities, but the situation is that there are achievements in the award criteria. Moreover, it can account for 60%. As long as your grades are not high, it's no use taking part in more activities and getting more points. But as long as you get good grades, you can get almost all scholarships, so you should work hard.

Secondly, there are some encouraging scholarships. Every school holds some defense meetings every year to select some winners of awards such as "literary star", "entrepreneurial star" and "golden microphone host". They can also get scholarships, and the amount is not small, but those with good grades will never get more scholarships. If you want to get this kind of scholarship, you can try to join some school-level organizations and participate in various literary or entrepreneurial activities organized by them. Excellent works can stand out in the scholarship selection.

Finally, there are scholarships funded outside the school. Some university alumni associations set up scholarships for outstanding students for their alma mater every year. For example, my university uses the word "attracting investment" to evaluate scholarships every year. The selection criteria of this scholarship are relatively comprehensive, and the results can be very poor but definitely not bad. Then, you should have outstanding projects or activities, and you can get extra points by participating in more scientific research activities.

In short, good grades are king. Know your opportunities well, and your contacts will come to you automatically. Develop good habits, cultivate your mind and get good grades. Your future will not be bad.
