Scholarship Essay Contest

Description

At the beginning of each term, most students enter deadlines and other due dates from all their courses onto a master calendar. During certain time periods, mostly the last couple of weeks of a semester, the calendar is crammed full of deadlines. Assuming that you have impeccable English skills, you are motivated for the assignment, nothing unexpected occurs, and you are a good writer, the rush of work is usually not a problem. However, those are a lot of very big “ifs.” Many people travel very far from home to attend a certain institution. Their conversational English may be very good, but their academic written English may not be as good. Motivation is often an issue as well. It is hard for a STEM student to write a thousand-word Faulkner paper. It is also hard for any student to find the energy to finish the third research paper assignment in the last month. Furthermore, illness, injury, adverse events at home, or just plain bad luck often come at just the wrong time. To apply, you must be a student at an accredited college, university, community college, oct-tech certificate program, or any graduate or equivalent professional program. High school students who have just enrolled in college, are certainly eligible.
