Step One: The Prompt

Ease yourself into the process. Take time to understand the question being asked.

At ABC University, we believe in the power of diversity across all fields of study, beyond racial and ethnic quotas. Based on your background and personal experiences, describe a situation where you fostered diversity. 

Most students can expect to receive $5,000 to $10,000 in scholarships, but that varies widely based on the cost of attendance at the school and how hard the student works on the application process. As you watch your friends approach the magical moment of high school graduation,

It might make sense to apply to every scholarship that comes your way but consider our advice to apply only to a few scholarships. This will not only save you time and effort but also help you improve your chances in getting a scholarship.
