You can answer this question without seeming conceited by telling the truth about yourself. The truth, as Walter Brennan once said in an old western movie "Not brag, just fact."\n\nSo, you have to explain why you deserve it. I don't know what the qualifications are to be eligible for the scholarship, and you should be sure to address how you meet those qualifications.\n\nOther than that, talk about why you are a good representative of the middle school, why your use of the money is a good use of the money, and why you have the skills, motivation and attitude to do well in school. Point out any evidence or examples of your motivation, skills or attitudes.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS: Don't promise points for an answer. Its against the community rules, and we really don't want people to be primarily driven by points. We want people to be good members of the community.

It's absolutely appropriate to tell them everything you told us here.  If you don't mind sharing this information with the Appeals Committee, then you should -- these are exactly the things that we look for.\n\nAs I'm sure you can imagine, a lot of students don't make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) simply out of laziness.  So, provide them with any information that you can to show them that your situation is different.  Tell them your story.  Let them know why you took a smaller-than-average credit-load (or got a low GPA) and assure them that you are now working hard to the increase the quality of your work.  \n\nBest of luck!

Present it just like you would to anybody else. ..that is , give your best.  You should master the topic, and know it very well .  It would be impressive if you do not read from our notes.

Fastweb.com is a great resource for scholarships. If you are not on it, you should be! Make your profile and then it will tell you which scholarships you qualify for. Also, check with the college you want to attend, because specific college scholaships are easier to get than scholarships that are open to everyone. Remember - Less people applying means better chance for winning! Apply for stuff that you think other people won't want to. If it has an essay on some random, boring topic, write it - everyone else thinks it is random and boring too, and so they won't want to apply.

I can't offer you any examples (that would be a violation of policy and ethics), but I can tell you what you should include.\n\nWho am I (education, experience, awards, skills, distinctions, etc.)?\nWhy am I interested in this field of study?\nWhy am I particularly qualified for graduate study in this area? How have I prepared for study in this field?\nWhy am I interested in this particular program?\nWhat is my potential specific area of interest? Why?\nWhat are my interests or influences in terms of theory?\nWhat are my long-term goals?\n\nAnd for goodness sake, PROOFREAD for grammar and spelling errors!\n\nIf there are any blemishes on your undergraduate transcript, or gaps in your preparation, explain them.\n\nAlso, it's always a good practice to show familiarity with current literature in the field, *especially* if you are not submitting a current writing sample.\n\nOne other piece of advice: Tailor each statement of intent for each program. Speak with your current professors before you apply, and ask about the strengths of various programs. You should already know which scholars are of greatest interest to you as mentors, but it is always wise to ask current professors if they know these scholars. (You may learn that Professor XX, while brilliant, is a lousy mentor for grad students.)

Give a true answer...just don't give a direct answer.\n\nSay something like, \n\n"Honey, that outfit was made for you...all of you."\n\n"Honey, that outfit would look even better with a new pair of shoes!  Wanna go shopping?"\n\n"Oh Honey...fat? You?  In that oufit... (let your answer fade away into a pause for about 5 seconds)...let's go look at some earrings to match!"\n\nIf she is not guided into other questions by your deft maneuvers at trying to change the subject...and she continues to ask you the question...look her straight in the eyes and say..."Honey, I'll give you a thousand dollars if I don't have to answer that question."

It probably wouldn't hurt to get a letter from your local bishop, indicating what a great person you are. I imagine that would go a long way toward getting a BYU scholarship. Good luck!

Are you a senior graduating this year, or are you already in college?  When I was in high school, I made EXTREMELY good grades, but I didn't receive many scholarships (a combo of 3 for my freshman year), so it was kind of discouraging.  The competition between seniors for college scholarships is so intense, it's sometimes ridiculous.\n\nThen, once I was in college, I kept making good grades and applied for scholaships for continuing students the next 3 years I was in school.  These are the scholarships you have to go for if you're serious about getting free money.  APPLY EVERY YEAR.  If your grades are where they should be, you will receive money.  A bachelor's degree is not cheap, but I managed to get out of school with no student loans to repay.  Just keep your grades up and remember that scholarships are for everyone, not just incoming freshmen.

Apply for a scholarship.

He's probably not responding because there is no proof other than your word - and I would check your student handbook to see if there is a "proper" procedure for "reporting" such a situation. If there isn't, then I would approach it from that angle. Mention that there aren't guidelines and you feel that they are necessary for future students.

write a good essay, tailor each essay to each specific scholarship you're going for, and apply to as many as you can. The wider the net, the better chances of landing a scholarship. talk to your professors and counselor.

Life is a boomerang! Whether it is your thoughts, actions or behavior, sooner or later they return - and with great accuracy. \n\nYour friend has done this for the admission and scholarship and he is getting it. We can understand that. But scholarship for what? admission for what? To study, right? And scholarship (almost in every University) offers some obligation as for example scoring a minimum level of mentioned CGPA (like 3.5 or above) to continue with the scholarship. Do you think he is able to do that?\n\nLet think like this, he got an admission to complete his undergraduate studies and for maintaining his scholarship he needs to work hard to score required CGPA which only good and seriosu students can. If he can score that and do really works hard this time then I would say he is paying off for his past and he is a good student. But, if he fails to do that then what will he do? What?\n\nNo answer. \n\nYes, he will again cheat. But, for how long. This path has no end unless he now become serious and work really hard and try to be a good student.\n\nLet us watch him. What he does. Time will answer.\n\nAnd, for your convenience I will say just work hard and study well. After graduating and as you will get a job you will be able to earn a lot of money which is worth getting a scholarship or financial aid by cheating.\n\nYou can send a annonomyous letter to the University authority and inform them about this. But, if your friend is a poor guy and really needs scholarship and is doing well then no need to do that. The university will itself find it out if he performs bad in his education. I believe as your friend had done this for admission and scholarship thus it proves he wants education and he is quite poor or unable to pay for his education. But, if he is doing that for fun, it will end very soon and I think you have to do anything for that.\n\nJust, focus on your study and eard good grades and then apply for scholarship if you want.\n\nLife is too long then we think and cheating will only make it a hell. A long journey in the hell is not a good thing.\n\nRelax and keep learning from your experience.\n\nGoodLuck!

I shant respond to this mornonic question with a dignified answer and shall therefore equally respond with an inadequate answer. Philistine. Ask a question that has purpose and meaning. True that you might be the sneakier one and wanted such answers to be give. In which case, I admire you. If you're truly serious... then grow up you hick.

What is this for, College?\n\nIf so, I hope you are doing really well and can just get a full-ride scholarship to a college.

When students at our institution are awarded endowed funds ("named" scholarships), they are required to write letters such as these.  A rule of thumb: if you are unsure, err on the site of formality -- letter format, formal tone.  Below are some recommendations from various schools; it's good to follow them but, if you can, interject something personal, too.
