A very important part of the application is the essay you are going to write. They ask for one because they are able to learn more about you, your interests and your personality than they can learn from a form that you would complete. The essay might be the single and most important document that you submit. Of course, they will firstly look at the forms that you were required to fill out in order to see if you are a match, but then they will read the essay, so here are some tips to help you write a better and more convincing essay.
The first good tip is to read the instructions carefully. You really want to pay attention to what they ask of you. Before starting to write organize your thoughts and know what you are going to write about. You can write a small draft or sketch before you get started in writing the real thing.
Most successful student create an outline of their essay and ask the opinion of someone else before they start to develop that outline. See if what you are planning to write about is catchy and interesting.
Don`t complicate the essay too much. Write in correct, but clear and concise language that everybody can understand. The writing must transpire some of your personality and it is good to become a little creative.
You will want to state and emphasize you accomplishments, but don`t make it sound like you are bragging. You want it to sound as natural as possible. Give examples of what you have done so far and of which you are proud of.
Proofread your document. Do it twice. Make sure that the grammar and spelling are excellent no matter for what type of subject or field the grant is. You don`t want to make a bad impression here so give your best.
Once you are done give the essay to someone whom you trust to read it and offer their opinion. Receive feedback and criticism openly and don`t be afraid to tweak it here and there. Remember that you need to make it as good as possible. Once you are confident that it is good content, submit it and wait for the results. Good luck!
