2) Essay required? What length?
2a - if yes to above question, did anyone help you, give input, or read your essay? Who?
3) How much time did you put into entering said contest?
4) What (how much) did you win?
5) Recommendations to those of us who are just beginning to enter scholarship contests?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
