As you know you need to have a completed FAFSA on file to qualify for scholarships, so bring in your 2018 taxes for you and your parents', if you are considered a dependent student. FAFSA experts will be available to help you complete the application and answer any questions you may have.
Below are the essay prompts for the scholarship, bring in your draft so that we can help you edit and share your story!
Pick only ONE of the following three prompts/questions. Then type (or copy & paste) a 400 to 600-word essay to respond to one of the following:
- Prompt #1: What makes you unique and deserving of a scholarship? Some students have a background, identity, interest or talent that is meaningful and sets them apart. If this sounds like you, please share your story and explain how a scholarship would benefit you.
- Prompt #2: Sometimes we face obstacles that can later lead to our growth or success. Explain a time when you faced a challenge, setback or failure. Explain how it affected you, what you learned, and how it will shape your college experience if you receive a scholarship.
- Prompt #3: Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and/or a new understanding of yourself and others. How will this affect you as a CCD student if you are chosen for a scholarship?
Remember, you are competing with other students for this scholarship. Take time to think about how to make the best impression on your reader who has to rely only on your essay to get to know you. You are special, so how does your essay show that? Be creative and give the reader/viewer reasons why they should give YOU a scholarship!
This Scholarship application is open to all current and future CCD students, including eligible undocumented and DACA students.
