Start out with an opening sentence that "draws in the reader", that shows your passion about whatever your studying.  Then go into your passion for education and your study and how it has helped you and taught you so many things.  Then talk about your qualificatins and educational acheivments (gpa, volunteer experience, specialized skills)  Then talk about your goals and your dreams in your career and how this scholarship will bridge your educational and financial needs to your goals and dreams.  Show your need for the scholarship and why you are qualified.. and why you stand out among other applicants.  End with a closing statement that recaps your passion for the field and your desire for the scholarship.

Take your time at figuring that out. Life experience will let you in on that. Have you tried different types of volunteer work? Church groups can expose you to different stuff also and both look great on a scholarship app. Check into those things and maybe it will help. Give yourself time to be a kid and grow up. You only have that once and you never get it back when it is gone.

I work in the Financial Aid Office at Northwestern University. I've seen many of these such letters, and as far as I know there really is no set format. Just state your situation as clearly as you can, citing examples, and be clear about what you want. Also, be very grateful, because often an increased financial aid award means depleting University funds. Simply illustrate, as eloquently and concisely as possible, why you need more aid, and thank them profusely for their help.

See what you think of this...\n\nDear Sir/Madam:\n\n\nI recently was awarded one of two scholarships from your organization at my high school, Atlantic Community, at the Senior Awards Ceremony on May 17, 2006.  I cannot express in words how proud being the recipient of this scholarship makes me.\n\nI would like to thank you for finding me deserving of this honor.  With my family’s recent financial difficulties, being the recipient of your scholarship has removed a significant financial burden from my shoulders, which should allow me to focus all of my attention to my studies and achieving my goals as a college student.  For this I am eternally grateful.\n\nIt is my intention to work hard throughout college to prove that I am deserving of this honor and look forward to the day that I can invite you to my College Graduation as an expression of my gratitude.\n\nRespectfully,\n\n\nXXX

Help with application forms would be a good idea.  Questions are not always clearly set out or are so general that they can be difficult to answer.

I agree that you should have something in there other than academic related material. People who give away scholarships want a well rounded individual not just someone who has done well in school. They want to know you excel socially also. What extra activities have you participated in: sports, clubs, jobs you've had for example. You say you want to give back to society. Well I feel the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. What things have you done to already give back to your community? Anyone can write, "This is what I will do" however not many people can say, "This is what I have done and will continue to do." Dont get me wrong. I like your essay however if you want to win there needs to be more. Something on that paper has to catch someone's attention. Honestly, I feel what you have written will get lost amongst the other entries. They all will sound about that way. Have you thought about including personal stories about yourself within the essay?\n\nAnother thing, the following sentence you wrote doesnt totally make sense to me - "By informing the encouraged students of today and tomorrow, we are allowing for them to establish a better future for all mankind." Does encouraged students need to be informed or discouraged ones need to be informed? If someone is already encouraged arent they already informed? They already know what they need to know so they dont need encouragement. Discouraged individuals are those that need information. I could be reading this wrong, however, if I have a problem with that sentence someone else might also. Just something to think about. I like how you used the word catalyst though.... very good use of the word. Well with all that said, you did a great job on your essay. It is nothing to be ashamed of, however, if you want to win, there needs to be something more. I could be wrong though.... You never stated what the essay was suppose to encompass. Go to a teacher like another poster stated who has experience in regards to this scholarship. I could be totally off of what is expected of you. I hope what I stated helped....

See, then it would be MY scholarship essay. And since there is a limited amount of money in the world for scholarships, why would I write one for you for free?

It's a scholarship in the sense that the financial aid office of your school will treat it as such, and you will not get any other money out of them.  But if it is more than needed for essentials, such as tuition, books, rent, food, laundry, etc., then some of it can be used for entertainment, etc.  Just don't run out before the end of the semester.

Without stating the obvious, they are looking to find out why you think you would be a worthy recipient of their funding. \n\nScholarship organizations aim to give their money to students who are grateful, high-acheivers, not those who feel "entitled" to college funding or who plan to goof off during their college years.\n\nIf you feel that you fit this criteria, let the donor know of your educational and/or career goals.  If the scholarship is based (even partly) on financial need, let them know that their award can bring you one step closer to acheiving these goals.  If it is based on merit (in part or in full) let them know that, if they offer you this award, you will not let them down -- and then remain true to your word.\n\nFinally, I assume you mean scholarship wIth a "p"?  Make sure you check your spelling before you submit your application: calling it a "scholarshit," even by mistake, is a surefire way to eliminate yourself as a candidate.
