Some tips for professional-looking emails (AKA every email) 1. Don't put the entire content in the subject line, leaving the body blank. 2. Always have a greeting and a signature. 3. Be pleasant and human, not rude and lazy. 4. Use punctuation and full words (no text language).

Have as many people proofread your scholarship application as possible. The more eyes that see it, the more perspectives you get, the better

Scholarship judges want to get to know you, personally. Aim for less formal writing, and focus on what you love, your passion, your goals.
