At the start of the year i applied for three university scholarships, all of which were awarded based on academic merit, the submission of an essay and an interview. I recently received a phone call from the university informing me that i was selected for all three scholarships, however because of conditions placed on the awards, i could not hold more than one simultaneously.
The decision was not difficult as one of the scholarships involves a cash prize that is almost triple of the others, and also provides me with an internship over the summer holidays, however i am not sure how i should treat this when it comes to my resume. Would i come across as too arrogant if i mentioned scholarships which i was offered but chose to decline? I haven't got much relevant work experience at this stage so these prize offers will fill in some gaps, however i am not sure how employers would perceive it.
I appreciate any opinions!
