How to Write Academic CV for Scholarship (10 Examples)

The academic CV is to attract the attention of the scholarship holder, so that he can proceed with the Letter of Presentation, which aims to convince him that your application is the most suitable before all the others. A poorly planned academic CV can result in the rejection of the scholarship. This makes the CV one of the most important documents in the evaluation process.

Before you start writing your CV, you should do a self-assessment and determine which elements of your professional, academic and personal experience you will put on paper. First, you need to collect as much information as possible to get a broader picture of what you have to offer, then you need to choose who you want to show and how to do it. Remember that the scholarship provider has the last word, so research them and the profile they need. Based on this, select and highlight the most relevant skills and experiences in your Curriculum Vitae (CV). You can start your search by reading the description of the scholarship and its requirements very carefully. You can also view the profiles of other scholarship recipients studying with this scholarship. Often, scholarship providers publish institutional articles or videos in which other scholarship recipients share their experience, and this is an opportunity for you to analyze their profile. When researching, identify keywords and write them down in a list so you know how to approach your resume. For example, you will know whether they focus more on academic, professional or personal skills and experiences. It can also help, for example, to know if you need to show yourself more as a researcher, leader, creator or socially conscious. How to organize an academic CV for a scholarship? All CVs should have three parts: contact details, education and work experience. However, we recommend adding other sections that make it easier for the reader to identify the relevant features such as: Certifications and Recognitions, Voluntary and other experiences, Software skills and languages. Contact: At the top of the page or header, you must provide your full name and contact details such as address, telephone and email. Avoid putting words like “CV”, “Curriculum Vitae” or “Curriculum vitae” that do not make it look professional. Education: It is usually listed first, as it will allow you to demonstrate that you meet the basic admission requirements. For example, if you are applying for a PhD, you have already received a master’s degree; or if you are applying for a master’s degree, you have already completed your high school diploma. Just write the title obtained, the institution, the year of graduation, and the city and country where you studied. Add special recognition or your qualifications, if they are exceptional. Professional experience: Don’t just describe the tasks you completed, but include your accomplishments and measurable results. This way will show the reader that you leave a mark where you work and that you are aware of the impact of your work. Also write in the first person, but avoid using “I”. Remember that this is about what you have done and therefore you are the main character in what you present. For example, instead of writing “sales and event planning”, it is better to write “I increased my sales by 20% compared to the same time last year and organized events with a budget of more than 500,000 USD” . Always refer clearly to the real facts. LANGUAGES: Indicate the languages you speak at the appropriate level: native, basic, intermediate or advanced. Avoid confusing numerical scales that make it difficult for the reader to understand. Personal skills: Mention your technical skills, as well as your personal skills. This section is essential so that the reader quickly understands that you have the profile that interests him. In addition, with this you can also demonstrate your self-awareness and balance. Other main sections: If you have written publications or received awards or certificates that complement your formal academic education, you can organize them in a section to highlight your achievements. Also provide links (DOI numbers) to your publications if available. Likewise, if you have experience in extracurricular or volunteer activities, I recommend organizing them in another section to quickly demonstrate your proactivity and social awareness. Should I include a professional profile in an academic CV for a scholarship? The professional profile is a section that some people choose to start their CV in the form of an introduction. However, this can become a repetition of what you will probably write in your cover letter. For this reason and also because the CV should be as concise as possible, I would avoid including it in the CV. But if you want to use it, write no more than one paragraph or five lines of text. Should I include my photo in my academic CV for a scholarship? As for the photo, it depends a lot on the call, the institution and the country you are at. But in general, we recommend putting a professional photo on the resume that will help the reader understand the person who is talking. The photo should be one in which you appear with a friendly and cheerful gesture. Avoid forced smiles and serious gestures

How to write an effective CV for scholarships?

A poorly designed academic CV can result in the rejection of a scholarship. We have outlined 8 ways to make your academic curriculum vitae (CV) highly effective and impactful. Short and to the point: Depending on the number of applications, the reader of your CV can spend less than 30 seconds to read. That’s why you should try to put all the content in 2 pages maximum. Simple shape, but NOT flat. Use periods, bold, and capital letters to show the reader relevant information. It is also recommended to use more than one column and clearly separated sections for easier reading. Avoid unusual designs and mixing colors unless you are applying to an art program. Be specific with the information you send. Show institutions, titles and dates. Information should be listed in chronological order, from newest to oldest. Use the correct tense. The activities you don’t do yet are in the past and the ones you still do in the present. It sounds silly but it happens. Check your spelling. Whether you write in English or not, your spelling says a lot about how you communicate and your level of language proficiency. Since self-correction is not always effective, ask your friends and teachers to correct each word and sentence. Do not fall into the trap of clichés: for example, you should not write sentences like “If I have the opportunity, I will try” or “I am passionate”. Instead, describe something unique about yourself. Don’t show fancy email addresses on your CV: many of us today have an email address at the age of 12-13. At the time, we were really trying to use email with fun, dynamic IDs. Many of us save those funny emails like showerofpetals@gmail.com, tigerforyou@hotmail.com, etc. These articles do not look professional at all. Create an email address that only shows your name. Use it on your CV. Give your CV a consistent look: Use a common font for all the points mentioned in your CV. Times New Roman 12 font size is suitable. Go for it. You can use a slightly larger font (Say Times New Roman 14) for the subtitles.
