<p>I'm applying for a scholarship that I really want (of course), and have no idea if I should mention the scholarship and provider in my personal statement. I mean, should I write something like "The abc scholarship from xyz would help me realize my dreams"? Or is that obvious? I wouldn't be applying for the scholarship if it wouldn't help in some way, but on the other hand, I don't want to ignore the generosity of the scholarship provider. This isn't the first scholarship I've applied for, but it is a much larger one than I'm used to, so I have no idea where the "tacky" line is drawn. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
