Mines Scholarship Applicatons- questions!

I have a question(s) about the scholarship applications…

The general scholarship application asks for a lot of repeat information from the common app. Should we assume that the common app is not being used alongside the application for scholarship consideration?

Along those same lines - several of the “named” scholarships ask for essay information that could be somewhat repurposed from the common app essays/general scholarship application. Should we assume that each scholarship application is being read by a separate committee and some repetition is ok? It appears that the general scholarship application is read by the FA office.

We are definitely reaching exhaustion on essays!

Thanks for any insight!

I would assume the specific scholarship applications are read by the individual departments and that the department does not have the common app. Colorado students may not have used the common app.

If one of the common app essays fits the prompt, use it.
