The scholarship prompt is to write an essay about overcoming diversity. In my essay I write about the adversity and how I do not have it bad compared to the rest of the world, I was thinking about putting in if I win the scholarship I would like to donate half of the money to kids who really do have it worse than me. I will be donating regardless if I win or not but probably not as much. Is this a good idea or no to put it in?
You want someone else to fund your philanthropy?
You are applying for a scholarship to give it away?
Think about it…this group is reviewing applications for scholarships…not gofundme donations.
Don’t put that in your essay. You need to earn the money for your donations yourself.
No.
You can talk about paying it forward, but not with their money.
