W: Hello. Is this where I can get a scholarship application?
M: Yes. Which scholarship are you applying for?
W: Oh ... urn, there are three that I'm interested in.
M: Okay. Each scholarship has its own requirements. For every one, there's a form to fill out. Some of them require recommendations from faculty or a list of references--
W: Uh-huh.
M: --and some require an essay.
W: Oh, great ... my favorite thing.
M: Sorry?
W: Oh, nothing. Well, here's the list of the scholarships I'm applying for.
M: Okay. Let me get you those packets.
W: Thanks. What kind of essay do they want?
M: Oh, usually it's a general statement about what your goals are, you know, and how your program of study will help you achieve those goals. That lets the scholarship committee understand more about you.
W: That sounds easy enough.
M: There's nothing hard about it. You don't even have to write a different essay for each application.
W: But didn't you just say that each one has different requirements?
M: They do, but they're all pretty similar. All of them want to know the same things about you. You can write a basic statement about your goals and then vary it a little for each individual application.
W: Do you think that would be enough?
M: Oh, sure. One thing I would say, though, is you should get your applications in early. You'll go crazy if you wait until the last minute. If an essay isn't required, write one anyway and attach it to your application.
W: Really? Do you think I should?
M: It can't hurt.
