Scholarships And Contest For Aspiring Writers
Essay writing generally comes across as the lost childhood activity which students got dumped with at schools. While the literary pursuit never provided any materialistic benefit, it sure did enhance one’s vocabulary and thinking skills. Nowadays, essays have gone beyond the school curriculum and found a place in the international admissions application cycle. Many students end up preparing for months to create that perfect admission essay to get an admission in their dream international college. But apart from the curriculum and admission application essay writing competitions have become more popular in many countries. Such essay writing competitions even provide students with a chance to get scholarships to cover their academic expenses. Here we have listed for you some of the top essay writing competitions which you can apply for during this summer of 2019.
