| Writing a Good Scholarship Essay |
| A great many scholarship competitions require a written essay. Scholarship committees do this for a variety of reasons. One of the main ones is to get an idea of what the person who's applying for the scholarship is like. Yes, GPA, community service, volunteerism and leadership are important qualities, but by the time you've gotten to where you're being considered, everyone you're competing against will also have strong records in all these areas. And so the scholarship committee will read your essay to see what sets you apart from the crowd, looking for a reason to select you over all the others. So, the essay can be the make or break portion of your application. A winning scholarship essay can mean up to tens of thousands of dollars for your college education, so you need to do your best to make a real impression with your words. For additional tips on writing a good essay, please click on the link above.
