Scholarship Applications (1 Viewer)

[kevda1st]

Just wondering When writing your personal statement for your scholarship applications
is it better writing in essay format or in list form??

If any 1 wants to share their personal statement it would be most helpful =]

I've been wondering too. Need to finish my PS for usyd and send it by the end of the week.

I put mine under headings (Academic achievements, Communication sills, Future plans etc) and used full sentences.

Sharing is caring!

I was reading some tips on the USYD website and they said you should definitely use full sentences, so they can get a better idea of who you really are, rather than just having to read lists of achievements, which can get a bit boring

Personally, I'd say sentences in a semi-essay style of writing.

My best advice would be to actually call the universities or place that offers the scholarship and ask how they would like the questions to be answered.

essay style? kinda...

But essay style without introduction and conclusion...no need for show-off.

By showing off, it's hard to avoid being cocky.
