One thing that practically every college student could use is more money to put towards their educational expenses, yet many scholarships every year go unclaimed. Stop letting procrastination and intimidation get in the way! Go for that scholarship! Come let us help you get started. We will discuss:

  • Formatting – what should it look like? What shape should it take?
  • Content – What do I include? What can I leave out?
  • Tone and Language – How to be yourself and be “academic”
  • The Writing Process – We will walk you through the steps, from brainstorming to proofreading

 

How to sign up:

  1. Log in to EAB (clicking the registration link will also take you to EAB).
  2. Select the blue “Schedule appointment or view drop-in availability” button on the top right.

  6. Select the “appointment” time (the day and time of the workshop, usually displayed within an oval). 
  7. Then, read the appointment details for important information, such as the Zoom link for online workshops. In the “Would you like to share anything else?” box, please include the words "proof needed" and your professor's email address if you'd like us to send proof of attendance, and any other important information such as whether you will be joined by an interpreter.
  8. Select what type of reminders you'd like to receive and then select "Schedule."
