Is it OK if I write the following sentence like that..!!

Please, revise my sentence! :)
Thank you! :)


"In addition, she is among the students who receive the University scholarship for excellent grades."

Since she has already received the scholarship you should say:

"In addition, she is among the students who have received the University scholarship for excellent grades."

I agree with RayH. In addition, I think it should say "like this" instead of "like that" in the topic title.

It should probably be one of these:

1) "In addition, she is among the students who received the University scholarship for excellent grades." (in the past -- scholarship ended already.)

2) "In addition, she is among the students who have received the University scholarship for excellent grades." (using the scholarship now.)

3) "In addition, she is among the students who are receiving the University scholarship for excellent grades." (like 2) above, or perhaps soon to be starting the scholarship.)

4) "In addition, she is among the students who will receive the University scholarship for excellent grades." (has been awarded, but the scholarhip hasn't started yet.)

The plain present tense doesn't seem to work in this sentence.

Thanks so much!

I am not a native English speaker and its obvious ;)
