...Tips for Scholarship Applications and Personal Essays* Getting Started Before you start filling out your scholarship applications, you need to spend some time thinking about how to write a scholarship essay that will get the results that you want. For many students, the hardest part of writing a scholarship essay is getting comfortable with highlighting your accomplishments. Students often see this as bragging about themselves. But this is exactly what you need to do in order to convince the judges that you should receive the scholarship instead of the other applicants, you have to tell the judges what makes you a better candidate. Therefore, one of the most important things you have to do when getting ready to write your college scholarship essays is to spend some time reflecting on just how wonderful you really are. When you write down all of the great things you have accomplished, it will be much easier for you to create an essay that conveys your strong points to the judges.

He plans to major in Engineering or Computer Science and apply his education to designing games. In his essay, Dillon talked about how games have given him a positive outlet when dealing with some tough personal circumstances. There are a million different reasons to play games, and everyone has their own unique story. I’ve had a tough childhood. My parents got divorced when I was just six years old and my dad hasn’t been in my life worth mentioning ever since. … Throughout my younger years I was one of the most athletic people I’ve ever known. Injuries and family issues caught up to me, and sports faded out of my life. … For some people, games are just a way to pass time. Games for me have...

...As an average student, I am sure that I am not the only one who thinks that I should receive this scholarship. There may be other students that can spell out a huge list of the reasons why they deserve the Horace and Letitia Newton Scholarship. But, even with those students applying, I am still hopeful that I can work hard to become the recipient of this scholarship. I hope to receive this scholarship because I am strongly committed to becoming a nurse, and I desire to help my parents as much as possible. After years of being a committed musician, I have learned what “committed” truly means. Sometimes it means being willing to go to a million Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestra rehearsals every Monday and another hundred thousand during the “rare”...

...marked-up essay is below this form.) HOW THIS WORKS: Your e-structor has written overview comments about your essay in the form below. Your e-structor has also embedded comments [in bold and in brackets] throughout your essay. Thank you for choosing Smarthinking's OWL; best wishes with revising your paper! *Strengths of the essay: Thanh , thank you for submitting your assignment for review. I am Ann B., your writing tutor. First, I want to point out a strength I noted when I read your paper. This sentence in the introduction presents a question and then answers it: College athletes are supposed to be the best of the best on that level, so why do college athletes not get paid? The question sets up the argument nicely for the reader! Now let’s move on to some areas that need revision. Content Development: A direct quotation like this one is not a good topic or first sentence: McCourt states “The athletes are ones who put in hours of practice and training” ( Evan Rosenfeld and Scarlett McCourt). Your audience may not understand why this quoted passage is important. The topic sentence should present a main point about athletes being paid in your own words. The first point is the hectic schedule. Can you write a topic sentence that introduces this point? I note that the second body paragraph does have a topic sentence introducing a point from the thesis in your own words: Another reason to why college athletes should get paid is they need money for expenses. Can you write...

...Mr. Universe Prairie Meadows How would this scholarship help you pursue an education that would put you on your ideal career path? Personal Narrative Reach for the stars "The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." -Barack Obama. This quote said by president Barack Obama really stands out to me because I believe that I can accomplish anything as long as I put in enough effort and never give up on what I want to accomplish. My dream is to work in the field of astronomy. I have big hopes for the universe and the planets, stars, galaxies, and other extraterrestrial objects outside our world.

...Scholarship Essay 15 April 2013 A Divine Mind Education was never a priority in my house growing up. Poor grades really did not matter to my family. College was never even spoken of, let alone an option to ponder. After graduating from high-school I entered the military, mainly because it was my only option. Upon growing up and traveling the world, it became apparent that an education was a must. It became a passion of mine to go to college. Actually, while teaching my son to read at the tender age of four, a question arose in my mind. How could I ask my child to go to college, when I had never been? It is with great pride today that I am able to state that I attend College. Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the Chancellor’s scholarship. Being awarded this scholarship would alleviate the financial stress that goes along with attending college. Being a non-traditional student with a family, there have been times in the past year that finding sources for financing college was extremely difficult. If awarded this endowment, it would free up funds allowing me to truly focus on my studies. Without the worry of monetary issues, there would be no stopping me. My plan for the future is to graduate from the nursing program. This gift of the Chancellor’s scholarship would allow me to continue on that path without any interruptions. Being awarded this scholarship would also provide an excellent source of accomplishment. Living in a small town all of my life has been a rewarding...

...Scott Chester 8/28/2014 Scholarship Essay Application I would greatly appreciate this scholarship. I would use the money for repairing my vehicle so that I would be able to drive to school without having to depend on other people to get me to classes every day. The financial aid package, along with the additional loans I am able to take out every semester, covers the tuition and books with very little left over to cover living expenses. The added cost to repair my vehicle is a financial burden that I do not know how I will be able to cover. In 2010, I had a siding company that had been successful for the past 7 years, because of the economy and construction industry crashing I ended up losing my business my home and my vehicle. After re-evaluating my life I decided I should go to school and pursue a new career. Being that I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade and earned my G.E.D., coming back to school as an adult was intimidating. I started attending Anoka Tech working towards a degree in automotive, after taking my general classes and one year of automotive classes I realized that due to having back problems an automotive career may not be the best option. After talking to the student success center I found that they were starting a new program called logistics. After doing some research I found that this is something that I can definitely excel at and would be a career I would enjoy. One thing that stands out to me the most during my time here...

...PacifiCorp Employees Memorial Scholarship Fund Application Essay In the world of dads I hold tightly to the idea that I have the ideal one. I can’t lament that he’s not a fisher or a hunter, and we tease at the idea of a Murphy watching a sports game—other than the ones we are expected to watch. I think customarily we are told that is what a dad is or does or is supposed to leave with me, that those things are fundamental dad things. Maybe for some that’s true--but I’ve seen how to love on all people, integrity in all things, speaking with actions, being slow to anger, and unrelenting faith. Those are the things I have watched with my very own eyes and those are the pieces of him I’ve picked up and kept in my pockets as I’ve grown. Utah State University is my dads alma mater and this coming fall will be my second year as an Aggie. A lesson I saw early on in my life was the reciprocity of education. My dad worked hard in college, which led to an early graduation and a small time opportunity. My dad worked hard there as well, which grew into an even greater opportunity and it goes on. My dad learned to work hard in college and it has continually gotten him into better places and...
