Scholarship Essay Video Guide



The feared essay! If you thought the essay part of the SAT was a nightmare, then you might want to review spelling, basic grammar, punctuation, and basic sentence structure. Everyone is capable of filling in the blanks on a college application, but not everyone can apply their wits and creativity to writing the typically required essay.
Above the hard facts on your application, the essay is where you actually are lucky enough to have the opportunity to brand yourself.
Make yourself individual.
This does not mean you can go overboard with absurdity, or egotistically fluff yourself to the point of caricature, but it means that with a good topic, well organized thoughts, and actual writing, that you can show your smarts, innovation, creativity and thought process all rolled into one piece.

Thank You Letters Video Guide



Your scholarship thank you letters should be hard-copy, business letters on professional letter or resume paper stock. Do not use email to make your thank you. Email is convenient for informal correspondence, but in some cases, such as this it is inappropriate; too easy, commonplace and insignificant to prove important.
Use a high-quality word processing program that allows you to use spelling and grammar correction tools. You should print your letters using a high-resolution printer - something you would use to print a resume.
Do not make your letter mechanical sounding. Even though it is a "formal" letter, do not be hesitant to give it your own unique personality. You should comment on the impact their generosity has had on your future and even a few short sentences about what you expect to accomplish thanks in part to their gift. Offer brief information on your educational and geographic background up to this point and make sure to explicitly name the scholarship. In many cases a donor may have given to a variety of scholarships or sponsor a variety. While this might seem like a lot of information to cover, you should focus on keeping it brief and focused, no longer than a couple of paragraphs.
