Word limit: [NUMBER]
My background: [STORY]
Achievements: [LIST]
Why I need it: [REASON]
Future goal: [GOAL]

Suggest an opening that starts with a moment (not "I have always wanted"), then outline the structure. Draft it in my voice with specific details. Then tell me what a selection panel would question.

Specific stories beat big claims. One real moment is better than three adjectives.

What you will get

An opening built on a real moment, a structure outline, a full draft in your voice with specific details, and a list of the questions a selection panel might ask about it.

Common mistake

The essay sounds like everyone else’s.

Fix: Give the AI one real moment and the exact details, and cut any big claims it adds without evidence.

Also watch for

Facts are invented. Check every achievement, date and number against your own records. Do not submit anything untrue.
It breaks the rules of the scholarship. Read the guidelines on AI help, and make the final text your own words and your own story.

Try a variation: make a short-answer version

Ask for a 150-word version of the same story, for a form with a short limit, with the single strongest moment kept.
