📝Sample Essay from a Scholarship Winner
Here's a winning scholarship essay from Haylie M, who won our "Creativity Takes Courage" Scholarship for Art Students. Read the essay below and keep scrolling for some commentary on what made this a winner.
Prompt: How are creativity and courage connected? Tell us about a time when you had to be courageous to share your art with others.
Essay
Creativity and courage are connected down to the core of what they are. You cannot be a creative person without also being a courageous person. Whether you are displaying your painting or singing on a stage, as an artist you have to have the courage to develop and share the passion you have for your art. This is especially true when you are first starting out your creative journey. You have to have the courage to make mistakes, be adaptive and BE CREATIVE. Being creative, in any sense of the word, can be an incredibly difficult and scary thing.
This past semester, I was invited to perform as a soloist with my school orchestra. As a band student I very rarely have a spotlight in the orchestra setting, and this made me immensely anxious. Despite this fear, I stepped forward and learned the music. Why? Because I am passionate about my art, and I want to share it with others no matter how anxiety-inducing it may seem. I would not be where I am today in any of my creative ventures if it weren't for having the courage to both fail and succeed. I fully believe that courage and creativity intertwine within a person and it involves a careful balancing act to be able to understand that relationship and use it to your advantage.
Why it worked
Haylie writes a concise, introspective essay here that uses a performance in her school orchestra to demonstrate her willingness to tackle both success and failure. She shows that she is a hard worker and that she has paid attention to the effort involved in success.
The essay prompt for this scholarship asks for students to do a lot in only 250 words. They must demonstrate a connection between creativity and courage, and tell a personal anecdote that demonstrates to scholarship reviewers that this student is worthy of a scholarship. Haylie does a good job of splitting the essay between these two tasks. In the end, she ties it back to work ethic and willingness to try and fail. That's why we chose her as our 2024 winner.
