tell them your career goals and how your education will further you with that. \n\ntell them why you chose that school above all others. \n\nTell then why you shouldn't get the scholarship. (I heard that works)

Most of the time the scholarship is a reward for an achievement of some kind.  One might push themself harder to obtain one.  Scholarships are important to help you get into a college that you might not otherwise have the financial means to.  Any money that you do not have to pay is a good thing, it really helps out a lot.

You should. Check with your guidance councellor to see if there are local scholarships you can apply for. \n\nAlso, when you decide on a school, check to see what scholarships they offer.

Be prepared to make up some B.S. They will ask you all sorts of questions like, "How have you had a positive affect on your community?" and "What will you do in college to demonstrate leadership?"\n\nWhoever is the biggest suck-up will get the scholarship. Probably some upper-middle class suburbanite who doesn't need the money anyways.

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.)

Write about something you know, and dont try to use big words if they aren't necessary.  Use a great hook at the beginning but it's just an essay dont get carried away, just stay away from "Have you ever heard about......Well I'm going to tell you about...." or stupid introductions like that.  Make sure you use transitions in between paragraphs.  the last sentence of a paragraph should relate to the first sentence in the next paragraph.  \ndepending on the college, most have a writing center that have people there to help you get your ideas out on paper.  I suggest going there if you need help in the technical aspect of how to write it, if it is ideas on an open essay (you pick the topic) then just think about something you truely enjoy or are knowledgable about.

You mean you want to write one?\n\nTry looking for examples from people who are in a field similar to yours, and imitate the format and style.  You can ask your professors, for example.

Honesty really is the best policy. Let them know you had problems with motivation and give reasons why always follow up with how you've changed then go on to the importance of college life and experience, eventually moving on to what you want to do with your life (give specific goals) and how the importance of a college education from that particular school is detrimental to you not only now, but in your educational and career goals. \n\nI basically just wrote a very basic outline for you. Remember all things are in presentation and leave the paper on a positive note firmly telling them the importance of your education and that school. Good luck!

Well, you could write about your decision to work full time after high school, the experience you gained and why you changed your mind and decided to apply to college. This could make a really good personal essay especially if you talk about what you learned from this experience and how you'll apply it to your student life at Eastern.\n\nYou could also write about why you want to go to Eastern...does it have a specific program you're interested in, the student life, the campus, etc.\n\nOr, talk about what makes you unique and how you'll bring diversity or a fresh perspective to Eastern.\n\nPersonally, I think talking about your year off school to work would make the best essay because it's the most personal and is a good opportunity to impress the admissions officer with talking about how the experience has made you grow as a person.\n\nAnyways, good luck and hope this helps!

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.

Try Fastweb.com for scholarships. Then, re-take an English or English writing class because if you try to communicate by email/letter with professors and you can't spell or punctuate, there's no way they'll ever take you seriously!! Or find someone to proofread everything before you submit it.\nGood 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.

Write about something that interests you.  It's a lot easier to do research on something that you like.  Especially for a thesis that takes so much time to complete.

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.

First of all what, specifically, does the college you are applying to ask for in the essay?\nIf you are expected to write about yourself and why you want to attend that college or major in a particular field -  then just be yourself.  Avoid saying what you think the college staff wants to hear (they get tired of all of that crap - and see through it).  Make sure that your essay is uniquely you.  Make sure that it is interesting enough that those reviewing it will actually completely read it.  Review it several times for errors.  Then let someone who knows you well read it and give you feedback.  \n\nI remember when my son was competing for Governor's honors in our state.  Most of the competition dressed out in dark suits and ties - and they had been coached on what to say and how to say it by their parents or teachers or even college "coaches". They memorized answers to questions. These young men and women were anxious and came across as "phony" - more like actors who memorized a script.  My son wore what he always wore to class, didn't prepare a speach and spoke from his heart.  In the end he was nominated  in 4 subjects- and the judges said that he was "authentic", "real", "enthusiastic", "a breath of fresh air" and "had a sparkle in his eyes about the subjects he was interested in - and could think on his feet".  Let you light shine.

It is likely that there are books on writing college admissions essays in your public library.  My gut feeling is that if the essay is a personal statement, it should not have a title.  If the school asked you to write an essay on a particular topic, perhaps a title would be appropriate.  I still think you should look at some examples in a book.
