Scholarship Essay

This week we will start working on the personal essay which is the MOST important component of your application. You will eventually have several versions of your profile and typical answers to essay questions. The following are some typical questions that you may encounter:
1. Discuss some challenge that you have faced and how you grew from that experience.
2. Talk about someone who has been a great influence in your life--it could even be a character in fiction or an historical figure.
3. Perhaps it is an issue of current concern.
4. On occasion something may come up on integrity, ethics, values and the meaning of love.

You will note that there are some questions in the textbook to give you a jump start.
