The
key to writing a strong essay is to be personal and specific. Include
details about yourself so the reader can get to know who “you”
are and what you stand for. Be truthful and honest. Scholarship
selection committees may have hundreds of essays to review. It
is your job to get their attention. Here are tips that may help
you:
Think
before you write.
Brainstorm to generate
some good ideas.
Create an outline to help
you get going.
Address
specific questions
clearly. |
