I would like to know how much weightage is taken into account for activities outside class, when applying for a university scholarship... Are sports activities given preference over, for example, science interest groups such as astronomy? What advantage does multiple club memberships hold? Is there a minimum number of community service hours required? What types of vacation jobs would be an advantage?

I would say this sort of thing depends on the scholarship for which you apply and would probably be listed somewhere on the scholarship's application.
