What's the key to winning a scholarship?

While there is no guaranteed way to winning a scholarship, there is a general set of guidelines to follow. I will go into this more in depth in a later post but, first and foremost, know what you're applying to and who your audience is. Much like in an English Composition class, you have to know who you're talking to in your essays. Knowing this will allow you to cater your writing style to what the judges are interested in hearing about.
