Applying to college can be one of the most stressful times in a student's life. Not only are you faced with the task of finding the perfect school for you, but you also have to find scholarships to be able to go to the school you want. These two intertwining obstacles require a lengthy application and a seemingly perfect essay. The essay topic is crucial to demonstrate your values, creativity, and depth of knowledge, and the writing is important because it reflects your power of persuasion, organizational skills, and style. This new book will teach you how to write effective applications and essays for college admissions and scholarships, helping shoulder some of the weight of applying.
The Complete Guide to Writing Effective College Applications & Essays For Admissions and Scholarships will provide you with all the tools you need to complete your application and write a winning essay.

In addition, you will learn strategies for getting started, requirements for application, and critical writing tips. This book has sample essays and essay questions, and even examples of the essays specific colleges use.
Admissions officers have chimed in with their expertise to provide insider information on how to compose impressive applications and essays for admissions and scholarships.
