Why do you deserve this scholarship?
It is important that you approach answering the essay question on your scholarship application as you would if you were writing an essay for an English 1301 or 1302 class.

1. Read through the question, and make sure you understand it.

2. Be sure to respond to each part of the question.

3. Be as specific as you can to support what you say about your qualifications and life experiences. Try to think of examples that will show the reader what you mean.

4. Check your punctuation and grammar. Proofread carefully.

5. If time allows, leave your response for a short time, then go back and proofread it again before submitting it.
