Obviously, I need to follow the directions, use correct grammar and punctuation, express ideas and opinions clearly, etc. ...But, makes a winning essay a winning essay? Is there anything special I should do to make my writing and proposals stand out?

I am trying to find all the scholarships I can to help alleviate the cost of higher education. I need to know where to find some good ones.

Every college I applied to (and some I didn't) has offered me incoming freshman scholarships. Why don't they just lower their cost instead of giving scholarship money? Where does that money come from anyway? Are they just eating the cost or is someone actually giving the money for us?...

I don't understand how insurance and school work together. I don't want my parents to get stuck with a big bill. I won't have them around to help me figure out where to go. Chances are I will need a doctor at some point during my college years. #college #healthcare

I would love to become a published author (think fiction novels), but I do not know what is the right way to get a company to look at my work without hiring an agent. Is the key in your cover letter? If so, how do you write one? Thanks!

I would love to major in German in college, but I am not sure if that is a good language to study. Most European countries now study English as a second language , so I don't know how in demand German skills will be!! #german #foreign-languages #travel

I've been think of doing study abroad in college and want to make sure that it is going to be worth it since it will cost a lot. Should I do it?

I have been going back and forth between a few different careers that all they have in common is science. I need to start figuring it out soon so I can take specific classes for the last two years of high school.
