Scholarship Essay Writing Workshops
Offered on various dates from October - March
Learn how to write your best scholarship essays!
This three hour workshop will answer your questions about how to write your best scholarship essays for various kinds of scholarships. We’ll go over what scholarship committees look for in an essay, what information is important to include in ALL essays, and discuss ways to improve your chances of winning.
Janet will provide you with lots of tips and tricks to help put your application to the top of the pile!
This is a practical, hands-on workshop. The first part is instruction and the second part is putting it into practice. Participants will write a practice essay, and get feedback from Janet on how to make it the best it can be.
Note: you don’t need to have a scholarship application in hand to get great value from this workshop. Almost all scholarship essays are based on one of several themes, so Janet will provide students with a list of themes they can choose from to write their practice essay. Students can then use the information in the practice essay on future applications.
What you’ll leave with: Students will come away with a draft of at least one scholarship essay to use in their applications. They will also take away lots of general knowledge on writing scholarships, and several helpful resources to use in future applications.
This workshop is best suited to students in Grade 12. The workshop is limited to 12 students to ensure individual attention.
