Answer 1

check the links below for essay help... they give examples and tips on essays that will help your essay STAND OUT, which helps you get more.

:)

-----------------
try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Answer 2

An honest answer would be that it would provide funding for your education, which you might otherwise have to forego because you can't afford it.

The suck up (and winning) answer would be that you believe that with a degree in business you can achieve some of your ideas and goals in making a change in the the administrative side of running a business, that is suits your demeanor and personality trait, and that you have a real interest in the running of a business. You feel you have a lot to offer to prospective businesses, and you find it particularly rewarding and gratifying to take a failing business and make it into a successful enterprise.

Answer 3

My name is _____________. I've always had many goals, but my main goal for the future is to obtain my bachelors degree in business. (From here, explain your educational past, and how you are financially limited.)

Ex: This scholarship would help me reach my goals for the future. I'm very passionate about learning and I know exactly what I want for the future. Once I obtain my degree, I'd love to help people. (Show them that you are a good person, and have a good reason for obtaining the degree.) Good luck!

Answer 4

My educational goals is to reach a bachelors depreed in business. I really need a scholarship to help me pay for this. It has been my dream and I want so much to pursue it.

Answer 5

Well, sure that is your ultimate goal, to get a degree, but you need to dig a little deeper within yourself, imagine yourself writing a research paper, and getting passionate about something you care about. Imagine yourself getting connected to history by reading wonderful historical works of fiction and fact. Think of what you care about in terms of having future conversations with people, and having a basic understanding of the world and how we all work together in it. College is for a lot more than getting a ticket for a job. It is about overall understanding and knowledge.
