Scholarship information on resume? Forum

If it's not a "named" scholarship, is there a non-douchey way to put a hefty scholarship on a law school resume (with I had this problem, asking on someone else's behalf!) for OCI? Do you just write, "Half-tuition scholarship," or, "Full-tuition scholarship," in the education section? Or is that frowned upon? Does it depend on the type of employment you're looking at (firms vs. clerkships vs. PI)? Thanks!

I wouldn't.

Sounds to me like you are trying to say "although I go to a TTTT, I got this huge scholarship, which means that I could have went to a respectable school."

But, TCR:

I think its a bit douchey to put "half-tuition" or "full-tuition" but on my resume I simply put "Merit Scholarship" under my school name.

Nah, I would only list it if it has some name

I don't think it's douchey at all...that might be because I have it on my resume though. I used to put the different titles of the named scholarships, but once I started running out of room/being involved in more things at school I just put "full tuition academic excellence scholarship."

Haven't had a problem as of yet...

NYU has a resume format they "suggest" and it covers what to do for scholarships. Check the examples from OCS and do what they do.

Penn also recommends it, even for the dean's.
