Money......HELP!!!?

Question

when scholarships ask "why are you applying for this scholarship and y do u think ur a good recipient for this scholarship" and to "decribe yourself" do they want to hear about ur financial need for it?? what are some good things to write about???

Answer 1

Financial need isn't the biggest concern unless the scholarship specifically says so.

What they want to know is what kind of a person are you. What do you do in your spare time? What clubs you are into. Your hobbies, interests, and any sports you play etc.

They just want to get a sense of who you are; that they aren't giving an award to someone who is only interested in books/studying, but rather someone who tries to balance everything out.

Answer 2

Write about your plans in whatever field u r seeking to pursue. U don't want 2 give them a sob story they already kno ur broke/don't have enuf funds, but in my experience write about things that u r going to do in ur field, so someday when ur rich & famous that person that gave u a scholarship will c ur accomplishments & what u set out to do in that career was true!!

Good Luck!!
