Hi all! As I'm working on my resume for applications, I was wondering if anyone had some advice about how to list my UG merit based scholarship. It has a specific name (Coronat Scholar) and with came with full tuition; only about 15 people per year receive it. I'm wondering if it would be better to just simply list "Coronat Scholar" or include some elaboration in a bullet point (like full tuition scholarship). Just not sure if thats considered tacky or if thats actually helpful information to an admissions officer. Thank you in advance!

Hello! Sorry to tack on to this thread, but I also had a UG Merit Scholarship but it was just a half tuition (basically). Should I just put
(My UG, not to be confused with US Presidential Scholar, I wish I was that cool...)
UG Presidential Scholar - Merit scholarship for academic excellence
Something like that (because there are many ways to write the same thing).
Additionally, would I also put this in the "Awards" section that many of the applications have?
Yes.

Thank you for the responses!
Name of school
-Coronat Scholar - awarded full tuition for 4 years for academic excellence
-Deans list, 4 semesters
And so on
Pretty much how I have it in mine. I actually have a section under education for awards. I'm a bit of an overachiever. :blush:
Great, thank you both!
Ditto to the above. Never assume what the adcoms know, especially if it is a chance to display something as shiny as you describe.
Elaborate in a bullet point under the "Education" or the "Honors" section.
