About This Topic

A scholarship essay is an essay written to a scholarship-granting agency, supporting why you should receive one of their scholarships.  However, scholarship essays are rarely straightforward explanations of why you are a deserving recipient, but, instead, usually allow you to choose from one of several prompts and write a compelling essay that addresses the prompt while demonstrating your worthiness for the scholarship.  These essay prompts are often similar to the college admission essay prompts employed by various colleges and universities.  You can find a good example of those topics on The Common Application’s admission essay page.

Maya Angelou Attained International Fame in 1969
Maya Angelou Maya Angelou attained international fame in 1969 with the publication of her first book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings; however, the seeds of her acclaim were planted long before. Raised primarily by her grandmother in Arkansas, Maya attributed her first important lessons to the woman she affectionately calls "Momma." With those lessons and other hard-earned knowledge, Maya progressed from being a victim of racism and sexual brutality with low self-esteem to a confident, skilled, dignified artist who is globally recognized for her wisdom. Maya Angelou's life and work span the racism and sexual abuse of an early childhood in Arkansas, the assertiveness of Malcolm X, the passive-resistance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the worldliness of an international multi-talented artist. Learning valuable lessons in dignity and skill throughout her life, she shares those lessons with her public through a body of work that includes her 30+ written works, dance, acting in TV and films, and personal appearances. Still productive at the age of 83, Maya apparently has no intention of slowing down, as she is still writing and making personal appearances to this day.

Home Examination -- Memory Studies Culture Dixon
Dixon begins her article with explanation of her topic, the official Turkish narrative of the Armenian question, as well as the order in which the article will proceed in defending its arguments. The two time periods in question for Dixon are the 1980s and the early 21st century. In the 1980s, Turkish officials responded to the long silence regarding the Armenian question. The response in the 1980s was indeed a response predicated on events that occurred decades prior, as well as extremely recent events in Turkey's political and military history.
