Developing Unique Scholarship EssaysGiven the sheer number of scholarship opportunities out there, it might seem like a heavy lift to craft multiple stories for multiple competitions. Join this interactive workshop and learn how to develop a series of interchangeable written “modules” that can be used to address the most popular aspects of multiple scholarship essay prompts. Participants learn to analyze and identify up to 3 typical varieties of the scholarship essay and walk away with a clear sense of the most relevant content, details, and facts that must be incorporated into strong application materials.This presentation is part of a 2-part series, but you do not need to attend both sessions.
