II. Why should you be awarded this Scholarship?

What do you have to offer the donor: are they making an investment in
a successful, contributing member of society? Will you be a good
example or role model to others in your community?
How will you use the scholarship? Assume that all applicants need the
money or they would not be applying. Rather than saying, "I need the
scholarship because I need the money," tell the donor how it will be
used. "I will use this scholarship to purchase the extra supplies
needed especially for my major." "With this scholarship I will be able
to move into campus housing and participate in campus housing and
participate in campus activities and organizations." In addition to
the needed funding provided by this scholarship, I hope that this
recognition will also enhance my application for internships in my
field of study."
