It is a good idea to update the status of individual application in your crafted list of scholarships to provide statistics and clear picture of where you stand in terms of eligibility criteria and awarded scholarships.
Always believe in the quantity and apply for as many scholarships as possible, even if the reward amounts are not substantial. Less rewarding scholarships have a high chance of reward because of less competition. Who knows you might end up with 10 odd small scholarships. The key is to apply to all of them.
