FAQ

How personal should my Alumni Graduate Scholarship essay be?
Personal enough to feel human, but selective enough to stay focused. Choose details that explain your direction, values, and decisions rather than trying to summarize your whole life. The best essays use personal material in service of a clear academic and professional argument.
Should I focus more on financial need or on achievement?
If the prompt mentions need, address it directly, but do not let it replace evidence of readiness and purpose. A strong essay usually connects financial support to your ability to continue meaningful work, deepen your preparation, or reduce barriers to progress. Need matters most when it is tied to a credible plan.
What if I do not have dramatic hardships or major awards?
You do not need either to write a strong essay. Committees often respond well to applicants who show steady responsibility, thoughtful growth, and clear purpose. Focus on specific moments where you solved problems, took ownership, learned from limits, or clarified your goals.
