C. Scholarships and grants

D. Provide accurate information

[ ] Optional fields in the university or college application form are a great opportunity to provide additional information, which can help the university process the application faster. This allows academic institutions to contact students who might need to give more details or clarify different aspects mentioned in their application. "I want to be contacted by a university representative" is often a common optional field. You can accept or decline based on your own needs, but if you are uncertain about the application or what to do next, choosing "Yes" will help you get advice from people who have helped many other students like you.

[ ] Don't rush to fill in everything as quickly as possible. It's not a sprint race, and there is no trophy if you finish faster. Pay attention to each field and make sure you understand what information is expected from you. If you have the option to choose or insert multiple answers, do so, as long as it's relevant. Be especially careful with your spelling. And no, in this case, we don't mean neighbor vs neighbour. We refer to your email address or phone number — crucial details which, if given wrong, will not allow the university to contact you!

[ ] This should go without saying, but avoid providing any fake or "between true and false" information. This can get you in trouble, and it is also illegal! Not to mention that, eventually, you will need to send official copies of your documents. So if you provide inaccurate information initially, it will only make things worse. Only say what is true and be very specific and clear.
