Tips on creating a good essay

Therefore, we have a few tips to help students submit the best application they can:

  • Stay on topic: This scholarship is not awarded to the person who completes the most hours of volunteer work. Mention your accomplishments or personal anecdotes only when relevant.

  • Keep it readable and brief: Make sure your thoughts are easy to read and understand. Don’t use ostentatious verbiage unless necessary. Keep your answers as short as possible without sacrificing detail.

  • Be specific: Don’t get lost in generalities. We want to know exactly why you deserve this scholarship and how you plan to make a difference.

  • Show your personality: The best essays use personal experiences and inspirations to make their points. Show us who you are, and why you deserve to win.

  • Don’t send us an AI-generated template. 

A winner will be chosen twice a year

June 15, 2025 at 11:59pm PST
