When you are preparing a scholarship application essay, make sure to pay as much attention to the scholarship essay format as you do to the content. Individuals who judge college scholarship essay contests look very closely at the essays they receive and evaluate them based on content, writing style, adherence to instructions and format.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so follow these tips to ensure the format of your essay is professional and reflects the scholarship guidelines.
