80/80
I just got rejected by two scholarships with just a high GPA, and a few essays, but I had only one extracurricular activity, even though I'd been doing it for fifteen hours a week since last January until the end of October that year. So how important are extracurriculars to scholarships? I must have these answers. --- Number XII: Larxene. The Organization's Savage Nymph. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Depends on the scholarship fund and eligibility criteria.
I would think your essays carried a heavier weight. --- http://i.imgur.com/M489ly5.jpg the White-Sounding Black Chick ... Copied to Clipboard!

scholarship fund $4000 for one, and $2500 for the other. RCtheWSBC posted... eligibility criteria Must have a 3.7+ GPA, and be transferring from a community college to a four-year institute; and just a 3.0 GPA for the other scholarship. RCtheWSBC posted... heavier weight Huh, I should probably consult some kind of writing expert before assuming my essays are perfect... --- Number XII: Larxene. The Organization's Savage Nymph. ...

They're very important if the scholarship you're applying to is already targeted at students with a high GPA. I applied for our state's full-ride one when I was in high school and remember feeling humiliated by the application because I knew that I didn't have nearly enough extracurriculars. All I had going for me was my GPA, but everyone who applied for that scholarship had a high GPA

Race and gender matter more than extracurriculars. So does a really great essay, especially if you cite some personal hardship and play up some diversity you have.

I think it depends on the school, how many apply, etc. At my community college I got one solely on good GPA and financial need. Well, that, and my minority status and hardship description. I was the runner up actually, but, fortunately, the winner didn't claim their prize in time, so poof extra money. I'm also transferring to a 4 year university, and I didn't get a drop of scholarship money. Fortunately, they're generous with financial aid.
