What is Scholarship?

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.

History and Legacy of the Rosicrucian Order Explained
As a thesis-length investigation of the history of the Rosicrucian Order, this essay investigates the origins of the order within the political and religious context of seventeenth century Germany. Arising at a time when England and Germany were uniting against the power of the Roman Catholic Church, the Rosicrucian Order taught a radical form of progressive social justice geared towards the betterment of society. Although the legacy of Rosicrucianism is not all positive, in the end the movement's contributions to politics, art, literature, and metaphysics outweigh any negative consequences of its teachings.
