I have three questions to ask you. You can answer them in an order you want.
1. What are some advices to writing a scholarship essay for school?
2. How do you do well in English?
3. How to survive in college?
1. Show them your good side. Do not over-hype yourself and talk like you are superman's son (they won't believe it!). Be clean and concise, methodically incorporating your good characteristics and achievements in a well written emotional peace. Include your realistic plans for future, showing them that their money will be a good investment in you.
2. You might clarify that a little, not sure what you mean.
3. It depends, what are your goals, are you dorming, etc... I would say study hard and party hard! Have a good mix of friends, and balance if off with getting good grades and developing a network of people you can depend on.
