Supplemental Questions
  1. Please write a brief essay (no more than 1000 words) expressing your interest in professional writing. We encourage you to write your essay in your own voice. While it’s fine to use tools like AI for brainstorming or editing, the essay should reflect your personal thoughts, experiences, and individuality. Please ensure that your essay is not written entirely by AI and includes personal examples and anecdotes where appropriate. Your unique perspective and voice are essential to helping us understand who you are and why you deserve a scholarship.
