In my search for a scholarship, I found one offered by Car loans of America (https://www.carloansofamerica.com/scholarship/). It is a $1,000 scholarship that is to be used towards tuition or books for education. It requires a 1,000 word essay describing why you believe you deserve the scholarship. In order to qualify, you must submit the essay to the email they have listed by June 1st and the winner is announced on June 14th. After looking at Purdue Owl Scholarship Help, I now understand how to better write a scholarship essay. It states that you should explain yourself and how you are a well rounded person. You should include your extracurriculars and programs that you are involved in. If your intended study is connected to the scholarship in anyway, you should include that as well. If you need a letter of recommendation, make sure to ask your professor with plenty of time in advance. In order to make a successful scholarship essay, you should include how the scholarship money will help you further your education or what you will do with it. There are many things to do in order to help you win the scholarship. The most basic being applying on time and answering the question that they ask. Being concise in your paper but giving examples of your points can help you win as well. Having friends or family read your essay can help you avoid errors or grammar mistakes in your paper. They can also give you other ideas of what to write about that can help boost your writing. Combining the tools from Purdue Owl, basic scholarship eticit, and friends and family, your scholarship essay will be better off and give you a chance of winning.

Essay Draft:

In order to apply you must send your essay along with your university name (Western Washington University), class year (freshmen), contact information, major, and transcript. It must be submitted by June 1st, 2019. You must submit a 1,000 word essay. It is an essay about why you think you deserve the scholarship. You can write about past experiences or dreams/aspirations. They want to see what makes you unique. I would write about how I would use this money to pay for tuition and books to further my education. I believe that I deserve the scholarship because with the money I afford to work less and pursue my future job of sports information. With this money I can spend more time working for WWU sports information which will give me the job experience for a future job. This means I can work this job instead of a job with more hours to pay for school. I can draw from growing up watching sports and looking for a career in it and past hardships in high school that made it difficult for me to pursue the things I was interested in.
