Atul Jose - Scholarship/Fellowship Essay EditingScholarship/Fellowship Essay Editing - Work with Atul Jose (Founding Consultant and Essay Specialist)

With the word limit typically in the 500 to 1500 range, it is not easy to structure the essay without losing momentum.

I will help you structure the scholarship essay by:

1)  Life stories

I will help you find unique life experiences that would differentiate you from the highly competitive scholarship application pool.

2)  Storytelling

I have developed a keen sense of storytelling from over a decade and a half of editing essays and writing essay examples for F1GMAT’s Essay Guides.

The skills that a writer/editor brings to the table are different from what a former admissions officer or a consultant who has limited writing skills brings

Review Skills # Writing Skills
Movie Critics # Movie Directors

It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning scholarship essay.

3) Aligning with the Mission of the Fund

A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the mission of the fund. 

Some funds have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant. 

If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership narratives, the essay won’t work. 

I will guide you through the writing process. 

I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
