  • “Scholarship plan for a high school senior: list and tracker”

    I want help working out how to apply for scholarships as a high school senior, with a real list and a plan.

    I'm 18, a senior in Texas, the first in my family to go to college, with a 3.8 GPA and a lot of hours at my church food pantry. I'll get some aid, but not enough. I signed up on a few scholarship sites and now I'm buried in emails and can't tell which awards are realistic.

  • “Review my essays for three scholarships for nursing students”

    I need my essays reviewed for three scholarships for nursing students, all due within the next six weeks.

    I'm 27, in the second year of an ADN program at a community college in Arizona, working nights as a CNA. Two of the scholarships come from local hospital foundations and one from a state nurses association. Each asks some version of 'why nursing' and 'describe a challenge', and my answers sound like everyone else's.

  • “Scholarship for single moms: review my essays and list”

    I'm applying for scholarships for single moms and need someone to review my essays and help me pick which ones to send.

    I'm 29, a single mom of one, going back to finish a bachelor's in accounting part-time at a state university in Georgia. I have five scholarships on my list and three essays drafted. I keep either over-explaining my situation or hiding it completely, and I can't find the right tone.

  • “Fix my essay on why I deserve this scholarship”

    I need feedback on my scholarship essay about why I deserve the scholarship, for two department awards at my university.

    I'm 20, a sophomore studying mechanical engineering at a public university in Michigan. Both awards use the same prompt: why do you deserve this scholarship? My draft lists my GPA, my job and my financial need, and it sounds like either begging or bragging. I've read a lot of sample essays online and they all sound the same.

  • “Scholarship for graduate students: fellowship essay review”

    I need a review of my essays for a scholarship for graduate students in public policy, plus two school fellowships.

    I'm 25, applying to master of public policy programs for next fall, and fellowships at two schools plus one outside award will decide whether I can afford it. Together that's a 1,000-word personal statement, two 300-word short answers and a policy interest essay. I'm first-generation and worked two years at a city housing office, but my drafts sound like a cover letter.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in the US.

  • 01

    How much does scholarship applications cost in the US?

    Usually $80–400. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    Why apply for local scholarships?

    Local awards from community foundations, employers and civic groups usually draw fewer applicants than national ones, so each application tends to have better odds.

  • 03

    Can I reuse my college essay for scholarships?

    Often, with changes. Many scholarship prompts ask about goals, challenges or service, so a strong Common App essay can be adapted. Always rewrite the opening and ending to answer the exact prompt.

  • 04

    How do I make a 'why nursing' essay stand out?

    Use one specific patient-care or family moment and show what you did and learned. Avoid general lines about helping people, which almost every applicant writes.

  • 05

    Should I write a new essay for every nursing scholarship?

    Not always. Keep your core story and change the opening, examples and ending to match each sponsor's values, whether that is a hospital, an association or a community fund.

  • 06

    Do I have to explain being a single parent in my essay?

    Only as much as the prompt needs. One clear sentence of context, followed by specifics on your goals, grades and how you balance school with work and family, usually reads well.

  • 07

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 08

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
