As you read, take a mental note of any passages that sound confusing or overly complex. Then, rewrite those passages and read the essay again.

They will almost certainly catch a few typos, unclear sections, and other issues that you’ll have missed.  Perhaps, for instance, a former teacher can give you helpful feedback. Print off your scholarship essay. With a colored pen or pencil, read each sentence and look for any typos or grammatical errors. Use spellcheck on your word processor. However, don’t rely on spellcheck alone, since it may miss some mistakes. Mail or email your essay to the address included in the scholarship application guidelines. Cross your fingers and wait for their response!  If you submit it early, it gives you more time to address any of their possible questions or concerns ahead of the deadline. Avoid submitting the essay too close to the deadline, since you could end up missing it.
