Which envelope do I use to send scholarship application?

We Answered:

Nana:

If you're really worried about it, get yourself a legal sized manila envelope at the drug store or the office supply store - it'll cost you about 50 cents.

The reality is that your scholarship chances don't rest on the envelope you use - they rest entirely on what's inside whatever envelope you send.

Your materials won't be entered into an art contest. If you annoy the organization by folding your forms into tiny little origami-style works of art that won't lie flat on anyone's desk, I guess that could hurt your chances, but any old envelope will do, as long as it all gets there in one piece.

Don't obsess over your envelope choice. Obsess over your essay and your deadline date.

Good luck! I hope you get the scholarship.

Tips for writing a scholarship letter:
1. Consider the audience (the scholarship committee) and what they are looking for. Be genuine and don't lie, but make yourself a good candidate for this specific scholarship. If it's a memorial scholarship write about how you embody the best qualities of the person the scholarship honors. Write about how you will use the scholarships to uphold the values of the person.
2. Be genuine and creative. Be conversational and personable so that you are a real person that they want to give the scholarship to. Be careful not to be so conversational that you don't sound like you're taking it seriously.
3. Follow the guidelines of the scholarship carefully - if they ask for something be sure you provide exactly that! Going above and beyond is questionable with scholarships because the committee is likely evaluating lots of essays and you don't want to be a burden or the person who can't follow instructions.


Tips on better writing in general:
1. Always re-read and revise what you write. Have other people read your essay and tell you about their impressions and provide feedback (on content and grammar).
2. Begin each sentence within a paragraph with a different word for more flow and more interesting and flavorful writing.
3. Find each use of the verb "to be" (is, am, are, were, be, etc.) and replace it with a more vibrant verb.
4. When revising your essay, read it from the end to the beginning. When you read it front to back you read it as you think it in your head instead of the way it is on the page and you may miss errors (like when people leave out an "a" or a "the" or something). Start with the last sentence of the last paragraph and work your way backwards.
5. After you write the essay put it away for at least two days and then come back to it. You can read it with "fresh" eyes and you may think of better ways to state something when you're not in the same mindset as when you originally wrote something.

Good luck!

What should I include in my scholarship application letter?

We Answered:

Depending on the scholarship that you are applying to, so you should write your application letter. Try to be natural, honest and confident about what you want. As for the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program, from the US Embassy, this is for example the advise they offer about the application letter, or the essay actually:

If you are completing a computer application, please insert your essay responses below the appropriate essay question. If you are completing a paper application, please type your essay responses on separate sheets of paper and attach them to your completed application. Please describe yourself and write a clear and detailed description of your academic objectives and the reasons why you wish to pursue them in the USA. Discuss your goals both in terms of your field of study and your own personal development. Describe the type of program you wish to pursue in the USA and how it relates to your academic background and interests and your objectives for the future. The essay is an essential part of the selection process and of your application for placement into an appropriate program. Be sure to include any details that highlight your personality and individuality.

Scholarship Application Letter- Help?!?

We Answered:

Just go ahead and sound egotistical. I know it's hard for some people, but really, for scholarship letters it's the best time to.

In fact, you can even fudge the truth a bit and exaggerate. I know it sounds bad, but just sound factual and express your desire.

Don't worry, that's what everyone else does too.
