| WR 105 - Writing for Scholarships |
|
This course focuses on prewriting, descriptive writing, organizational strategies, sentence fluency, concision, and, importantly, revision. We will look at scholarship essays from former WR 105 students who have earned scholarships, to define what works and to employ these techniques in your own letters. We will collaborate to determine how to communicate your personal experiences such that they inspire you and touch the lives of others. You will learn to present your self-inquiry in the form of effective scholarship essays. Then, you will include these essays in a scholarship application to the Oregon Office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC) and, optionally, another scholarship application of your choice. It is not uncommon for students to rewrite their essays multiple times. Note: This two-credit writing course will not count toward a WR 115/115W, 121, 122, 123 or 227 writing course.
