Keep it Readable and Brief: Make sure your thoughts are easy to read and understand. Don’t use ostentatious verbiage unless necessary. Keep your answers as short as possible without sacrificing detail.

Be Specific: Don’t get lost in generalities. We want to know exactly why you deserve this scholarship and how you plan to make a difference.
