Storytelling is an underrated art that takes you a long way, not just with a scholarship committee, but also, in life. The way you tell your story shows how articulate, structured, and creative you are as a person.
The way to tell your story to qualify for a scholarship is to answer the following questions:
Talk about your family background, beliefs, qualification, and the course you want to pursue
Ensure clarity of your goals, how they impact your career and eventually, your life.
Will receiving a scholarship help you financially, emotionally, or both? Will it be a motivating factor for you to perform better, or will it increase your confidence in your own abilities?
Your goals should be directly related to your need for getting a scholarship. If the committee does not resonate with your goals or the fact that receiving a scholarship might help you achieve them, they will not consider your application.
Some committees allot funds, some waive off a certain amount from your tuition fees. Depending on the scholarship you are applying for, you should have an answer for how you want to use the money you receive/save.
Social work is a big part of getting a scholarship. Having a plan to move your good fortune forward to those less privileged will have an immense impact on the deciding committee.
Summarize how this scholarship will help you achieve your goals and how you will help your community and university grow by becoming an asset for both.
