Admissions Advice

For the IU general scholarship application, do the people reading the essays also see your admissions essay?

I noticed they require a scholarship essay, but the questions are very similar to the supplemental that was required for admission. Can I reuse the essay (with some modifications), or will they be able to the first essay and see that it’s the same? I don’t want to be redundant either way, so knowing if they’ll already have the first essay would help a lot. Thanks!

Hi @annna,

Good question - I don't recommend having any overlap in your essays or using the same essay for the same school; it's very likely that this will be picked up by the school's online submission system if not by a reviewer. However, if other colleges have a scholarship essay, you can reuse the one you wrote for IU.

Hope this helps!
