Scholarship / What should be the right format for my scholarship essay? [4]
I have been working for months on my undergraduate scholarship essay and managed to finish it. However, as for now when the handing-in deadline has come, I still have no idea how to open my essay properly/the "format" of how my essay should be. For example :
-Would I need a title for my essay, something like "Scholarship Application For..." (the essay question is "Why should I deserve this scholarship?") ?
-Should I stat my name under the title (if available) before beginning the essay, like "Author: (my full name)" ? or at the end of the essay together with my confimation signature? (I didn't mention my full name in the whole essay though)
- I once read that the scholarship essay should be in letter format, with Dear Sir/Madam at the beginning, Thank you for your time and consideration/Sincerely at the end etc...Would it be necessary and appropriate? (as in my case, I opened my essay with my life motto then career goals, which led to the reason why I wanted this scholarship)
- Since my essay is 1 page and a half in length, should I print it on two separated A4 pages, or one 2-sided paper is good enough?
- Would I need to attach a confirmation declaring that I am the rightful author of this essay? (as the school didn't directly ask for it in the requirements, so I'm not really sure...)
Thank you all very much in advance! I would need to submit my application in around next Tuesday, so instant help would be much appreciated.
