Write a paragraph describing your persuasive essay topic. You should include information about why you have chosen your topic, what you are trying to convince your readers to believe, and where you are finding sources for your essay. See the rubric to make sure you understand how your assignment will be graded.

writing a scholarship essay can be very difficult - especially if you want to do it well. Your essay will need to wow the reader, and speak directly to the goals of that organization, as well as the objectives of that award. If done properly, you will very rarely be able to submit the same application to multiple awards - it is not a one-size-fits-all; most essays will need to be tweaked or completely altered to show the reader that you are deserving of the award above and beyond any of the other participant who also applied.
