【解析】

本文是说明文。文章为我们介绍了在大学里成功申请奖学金的几种方法。

【1】

根据下文The following is the ways you should know about.(以下是你应该知道的方法)为介绍申请奖学金的方法可知大学的奖学金是给那些懂得尽力去争取的学生的，故G选项“经验证明，奖学金将颁发给那些值得的人”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【2】

根据下文I know it is obvious to the football player that sports will increase the possibility, but did you know you can get scholarships for less-known sports?(我知道这对足球运动员来说很明显，体育运动将增加这种可能性，但你知道你可以为不太出名的运动获得奖学金吗？)中的“ the football player”,可知这些都是属于运动员( athlete)的范畴。可知一些最高的奖学金是给大学运动员的。故E选项“一些最高奖学金是给大学运动员的”符合上下文语境，故选E。

【3】

上文Try volunteering in your community or a community chapter of a major organization.(尝试在你所在的社区或大型组织的社区分会做志愿者)讲到要参与社区义务工作，下文说明这是因为有效的社会义务工作会让你在大学里高人一筹，故F选项“高水平的社区服务会助你上大学”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【4】

根据下文Try building a personal connection with someone at a scholarship society.(试着和奖学金协会的人建立个人联系)以及主要内容可知本段主要讲要通过各种方法和奖学金评选活动成员保持联络,以增加获选的可能性。故B选项“保持联络”符合上下文语境，故选B。

【5】

本段最后一句Applying early can lead to more applications overall, and someone who applies to 100 scholarships against 10 has a much better chance of being awarded!( 提前申请可以带来更多的申请，申请100个奖学金的人比申请10个奖学金的人更有可能获得奖学金!)可知申请奖学金其实也是一种“数字游戏(numbers game)”。故C选项“它也可以是一个数字游戏”符合上下文语境，故选C。
