GS Scholarship Application

<p>Does anybody have any advice on the "Brief Statement" portion of this application? You are only allowed 2,000 characters and they ask you to address your academic achievements/honors/expectations, income, and loan debt. Should I be looking at this as another essay that I must craft carefully, or should I just be straightforward and concise?</p>

<p>Be clear, concise, and honest. Let them know your full situation (jobs, family, extenuating circumstances) up front so they can help as best they can. To be honest though, I wouldn’t expect anything you write to have a huge impact.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
