<p>I'm applying for both the Texas Exes scholarship and the Terry Foundation scholarship, and for the short essays I am supposed to write an essay about a time I've shown leadership and one about a setback/challenge/opportunity I've had, which is supposed to show leadership outside the classroom. Can I use the same essay for both, since they will be going to different scholarships? Can the scholarship committee see all of the short essays I've written or just the ones required by them?</p>
<p>My son used very similar essays last year and was a Terry finalist (not selected after the interview though) and received a Texas Exes scholarship. You should probably tweak it to make sure you really answer the prompt.</p>
