You finished writing your nursing scholarship essay \u2013 you are satisfied with the content because you did a lot of research on how to write a\u00a0scholarship essay that stands out<\/strong><\/a>. You feel confident that you found the most creative way to tell the scholarship judges why you want to be a nurse and exactly how you plan to use your nursing degree to contribute to society. Most importantly, your essay portrays to the reader the significance that receiving a scholarship would have on you. Let\u2019s face it \u2013 you could really use the money! You\u2019ve met the word count requirement of between 750-1,000 words and you\u2019ve checked the essay for grammatical and spelling errors. Now you\u2019re probably wondering, what\u2019s the best scholarship essay format?<\/p>\n

Tips to Improve Your Scholarship Essay Format<\/h2>\n

The way you format your nursing scholarship essay can be just as important as the content itself. Think about it \u2013 we are often drawn to things that look good to us, and we have certain expectations on what makes something look good. For example, it’s often how we decide on food or clothing. The same goes for selecting an essay. If something doesn\u2019t look professional or appealing to the reader, they might toss your essay to the side without a second thought. Here are some basic scholarship essay format tips you can follow to make sure your nursing scholarship essay looks as good as it sounds!<\/p>\n

Give it a name<\/h3>\n

Name your essay! Come up with a\u00a0title<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that is as specific as possible in describing what the essay is going to be about. You can even use some of the words that were included in the scholarship essay prompt. You want the scholarship essay title to be clever and attention-grabbing, as it is likely to be the first thing that scholarship essay judge will see. You should also include your name and the scholarship title at the top of the page. So, for example, if you are applying for the Travel Nurse Source \u201cFuture of U.S. Nurse Scholarship<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d make sure that\u2019s at the top of the page.<\/p>\n

Space it out<\/h3>\n

The second thing you want to do after coming up with an award-winning title\u00a0is to make sure that your essay is double-spaced. Double spacing the text makes it easier for the reader to see and prevents the words from appearing jumbled on the page. When thinking about spacing, you should also make sure that your margins are set up appropriately. The\u00a0recommended<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0spacing for margins is one inch from the top, bottom, and sides.<\/p>\n

Find a font<\/h3>\n

Choosing a traditional font that will make the essay look formal and easy to read is important. Times New Roman is suggested because it is a familiar font to most people. The font is even used by the United States Department of State in all U.S. diplomatic documents, which makes it sound top notch, right? Your Times New Roman font should also be at least a size 12 point.<\/p>\n

Once you name your essay, apply the correct spacing to the document, and use an appealing font, you should feel confident about your scholarship essay format. The last thing you need to be sure to do is to make sure that the essay is written before the deadline! Then, submit away. Finally, be sure to apply to as many nursing scholarship opportunities as possible. The more you apply for, the better your chances are of winning! Good luck!<\/p>\n
