Scholarship agencies define the requirements for formatting your essay on the application. However, If you are not provided with any specifications, use the following formatting instructions below:
 
  • The content should be double spaced
  • Use a simple and easy-to-read font, such as Times New Roman font
  • 12 pt. font size
  • One-inch margin on all sides
  • Titles can also be given. This is something optional and depends on the scholarship preference
Other requirements, such as the word count and indented paragraphs, are mentioned in the scholarship checklist. The average word count of a scholarship essay is around 500 words. 
Moreover, the essay should be outlined appropriately, as well. All the content present in your essay should be divided into three sections; introduction, body, and conclusion. It will allow the committee to understand your document better. Select the "Essay" image below to access a pre-formatted word document with additional guidance.
