# Scholarship cards with amount, deadline, eligibility

A learning and careers format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/learning-and-careers/scholarship-cards-with-amount-deadline-eligibility

Condense each scholarship into a standardized card or two-slide brief showing the dollar amount, deadline and eligibility filters. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 14x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow, Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers can screenshot or save one card instead of hunting for details. Recognizable brands and specific cohorts make the cards feel relevant and shareable.

## How to make it

1. Slide 1: brand or cohort, dollar amount and deadline
2. Slide 2: GPA, class-year and eligibility checklist plus link
3. Repeat the same template for every opportunity

## Hook formula

[Brand/Cohort] scholarship: $[amount], deadline [date]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
