6.Many scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money.However,if you are the sort of person that has a headache whenever you have to complete a writing assignment,this may not be the best news.Luckily for you,there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay.The following tips could help you conquer this not-so-easy aspect of the scholarship application process.You should always outline your essays.This does not just apply to the scholarship essays,either.An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the"whole"that the essay will become.Judges cannot to stand when your writing is loose,lacks coherence(连贯性)or when you fail to connect your main points together.They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do,in fact,relate to the topic at hand.
If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about,always try to select something you are personally interested in.Don't write what you think the judges want to hear.This will only amount in an essay that reads like someone else's,which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.
If you feel bored with the topic,then your essay will be boring as well.Make sure your idea follow a clear and a logical path.This means they are connected well and the transitions(过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next.Likewise,try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story.Yes,college will be a life-changing experience,but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so?And yes,it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age,but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship?Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away,so only pull at the heartstrings(动人心弦) if you have a proper reason for doing so.
