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.

Clinical Assessment of Learners: Tools, Validity, and Competence
Extensive clinical assessment tools are available for evaluating clinical knowledge and skills (Murray, et al., 2000). What are less available, likely because the difficulty of measurement is greater, are tools that assess professional behaviors and attitudes such as cross-cultural competency, scholarship, multidisciplinary teamwork, integrity, responsibility, honesty, empathy, altruism, confidentiality, ethics, and respect for colleagues and patients. It is important for a mentor with clinical assessment responsibilities to be aware of these deficiencies. Since assessment will drive the learning of students, there will be very little effort put forth to develop these broader competencies and outcomes that are desired by the larger society and the discipline unless assessment tools are developed and used as part of the clinical assessment process.
