A compelling and memorable essay can create opportunities and open doors.

A well crafted personal statement or application essay can make a world of difference in a student's admission and scholarship opportunities. Even when a college application says an essay is optional, admission counselors agree that they view applicants much more favorably when they choose to submit an essay that provides some insight into the student’s personality.

 In this intensive, engaging session we will cover the essentials of creating a compelling and effective college admission or scholarship essay. Each student will learn how to determine what to relate in an essay and how to make it unique, compelling and memorable. Throughout the workshop, students will complete exercises that help them hone their writing style, determine the essay’s content and polish it so that it stands out among other essays. 

This class will cover:

• How to pick the best topic for your essay
• How to open with a compelling and engaging introduction
• How to use the right tone, when to use humor (and when not to)
• How to wrap it up in a way that pulls the whole essay together
• How to research the supplemental essays for each college and organize a method to efficiently track and address them all



After this workshop, students will have at least the foundation of their essay completed and will equipped to modify it to re-use on multiple applications. 

Cost

It's just $95 for the 3-hour workshop, all materials, Zoom recording, and follow-up info.
