There are two types of application we can link your question to, and only you can tell us which application precisely. So, next time try and be specific about your topic. We have application for admission and application for scholarship - owing to this fact, I will be treating the two of them in my answer.
APPLICATION FOR A STUDY PROGRAM (ADMISSION)
An application that will stand out among its equal must have the following characteristics:
(1) The program been applied for must be with documentary proof that the entry requirements are complete and ok;
(2) The application must have the following documents uploaded in the right format_
a) Resume - recently updated to contain applicant's education, qualifications, experience, scholarships & awards, extracurricular activities, volunteer jobs, interest and hobbies.
b) personal Statement - stating why you want to do the chosen program in the universities, your reason for choosing the career path and what you intend to achieve by doing the program. Personal statement content may be ordered by the admission office to address some specific issues.
c) official transcript - the student copy may be accepted for initial upload, while the Official one must be arranged to be sent to the university directly from your former school.
d) recommendation letter - the references of the students must be uploaded for a direct confirmation by email
e) irrespective of whether the confirmation of degree is required or not, student's certificates should be uploaded (at worst, under other document or it can be scanned together with the transcript in an uploadable format.
f) test results are to be sent to the school directly by the examining body using the institution code, while a copy can be uploaded along with the application.
(3) The candidate must be well prepared for interview (if any) with the full knowledge of all the content of all his documents.
(4) The application must be well completed and submitted before the closing date.
(5) Applicant's resume and personal statement must be superb and all the information therein should be verifiable.
(6) The completed application must be perfected without any material error.
I will like to say that the above (which in not an exhaustive list) will be helpful in completing and submission of your application for admission.
