Help writing for the WSUTC/WSU Scholarships
2016-12-19 12:00 - 13:00 | East 205
Writing for scholarships can seem overwhelming, overly difficult or pointless – but not if you know how to do it and are willing to spend a little bit of time doing it right.
Come to this workshop and we’ll talk about how to write for the WSU and WSUTC scholarships specifically. Scholarships can be a lucrative endeavor if you know what you’re doing and do it right.
Think of it this way – if you spend 5 hours working on – and receive a $500 scholarship – you’ve just made $100 an hour………. not a bad return on investment.
