    Essay Instructions

    Each applicant is required to submit a Scholarship Application Essay. This is a two-page, double-spaced paper, which cannot be handwritten. Type the essay on white, 8 ½” x 11” paper and upload it with your other materials at the end of this application.

    Please choose One of the following topics below for your essay:

    1. The purpose of education is more than the memorization of facts. These new found facts and ideas spark new interests and new ways of thinking. Discuss something you have learned recently that changed your way of thinking, made you want to learn more, or just fascinated you. What did you learn? Why did it impact you? What did you do with the knowledge?
    2. What is the most recent action you have taken about which you are the most proud or ashamed. What prompted this action and what have you learned from it?



    TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR ESSAY SUBMISSION: The essay should show original and serious thinking on the part of the applicant and should demonstrate the applicant’s ability to express those thoughts clearly and accurately. A third page may be added to cite sources if quotes, purported facts, etc. are used. The essay should be coherent; it should have a clear beginning, middle and end. Begin by introducing the topic and set forth the boundaries of the subject. Do not be vague or too expansive. Instead, be specific and well-disciplined. You may want to follow these three steps in preparing your essay:

    Outline your essay. Write a rough draft and review it by asking yourself such questions as: Is it clear? Are questions raised by this essay left unanswered? Is the topic clearly defined? Are the ideas well developed? Are the ideas concrete?

    Finalize your essay, asking yourself these questions: Is this precise or too general? Is it concise or does it ramble? Have I used grammar properly? Is this essay persuasive? Are the quotes accurate? Are the facts valid? Are my thoughts and conclusions well organized?
