I am wondering how to realistically evaluate a student’s chances at winning non automatic merit.

For instance, on this page there are some automatic awards listed and some non automatic awards listed. How would you know whether or not a student is a good candidate for the Chancellor’s Scholarship or the Silas Hunt Scholarship?

Or at this school for the Rath Scholarship?

Just trying to understand how to figure out if a student has a reasonable chance or if it is a long shot so we can narrow down the number of schools on the college list.
