It's time to start applying for scholarshjips, and even if you're the most deserving recipient, it's going to be hard to stand out amidst all the other applicants vying for the award. You know they should give it to you.. you just need the committee know that.

Here are some tips to help you create the perfect scholarship essay.

Check the Requirements of the Scholarship Carefully

Before doing anything else, read and re-read the scholarship statement, and work out what they are looking for in an applicant. Do they want someone who's academically gifted and gets consistently high grades? Are they instead looking for someone who's encountered hardship at home, or given their time to charity? Make sure you fit the profile before putting pen to paper.

Consider What Makes You Stand Out

Once that's out of the way, think about why the committee should pick you. Now is not the time to be modest. Have you won special awards at school, or competed professionally in a sport? What makes you special?

Pick a Theme

You'll need a central theme to hang the rest of your essay on, a theme you can keep coming back to so you avoid rambling. The theme you choose will depend on you and what you decided is special about you. For example, you could base the essay on the summer you spent volunteering in a youth club, or your latest football game.
