How to Write a Winning Scholarship Essay: 30 Essays That Won Over $3 Million in Scholarships Fifth Edition

My son is taking creative writing this semester and I think it will help him write these essays. So far he’s fine it without any debt and if he’s successful these will be the first grants or scholarships he’s gotten. Prayers ongoing.

Extremely helpful. Essays are a critical component in college admissions. A must purchase kind of book.

It did a good job addressing some of the writing issues I was having, and also offered some resources I had not seen before.

The key is getting your kids to actually do it. We have found that a number of schools and general scholarships have dropped the essays, however most school's Honor Programs require essays and it can be the tipping point for someone who is borderline in either grades or scores. My daughter was admitted into ASU's Honors program and her grades were not stellar but her ACT scores were. Because she didn't entirely meet the basic requirements she felt she wouldn't be given a look but we encouraged her to apply and the ideas she got from this book helped her plan out a thoughtful essay. Because they were willing to take a chance on her based on her essay, she felt motivated to achieve and completed her freshman year with a 3.8.

Thank you for book
