As you mentioned, it is almost useless to apply to scholarships you have no chance at getting. One example of this is the scholarships that banks offer if you simply fill out your information. Scholarships that are easy to get are generally local to your community and have specific requirements. This restricts the number of people who are eligible and greatly improves your chances of receiving the scholarship..
