Essays / Financial Need Scholarship Essay - how to start and make it sound appealing [5]
Prompt - Please write a 1-2 page essay explaining in detail your current financial situation and why you need more scholarship based solely off of your extreme financial situation.
Evening all,
I am an international student from a developing country, Indonesia, and the exchange rate between USD and IDR is not good and makes items in the USA much more expensive than it is here. I'm not quite sure on how to answer this essay and make it appealing to the reader who will be considering my scholarship. Should I be talking about my achievements and why I deserve it? Should I be talking instead of the struggles of my family? The prompt says "why you need more scholarship based solely off of your extreme financial situation", so should I be taking this approach literally as in state how much income my family makes or should I create a narrative like where I describe my family's hardship and open the essay with a specific event? Any tips perhaps on making the essay appealing?
Many thanks!
