One of the hidden benefits of using CEO’s Essay QuickFinder and Essay RoadMap tools is that they deliver optional and departmental essays, as well as those for special applicants. If you are applying for scholarships available to high school seniors entering their freshman year, CEO will find those for you too!
Using the Essay QuickFinder has this hidden benefit – you’ll be told about departments and scholarship opportunities you didn’t even know were there!
This is especially true with large state schools. With such large class sizes and departments, the nooks and crannies for scholarships to be tucked away in are seemingly endless. By letting CEO deliver that easy-to-use list of your essay requirements, often you’ll find out about opportunities others may have overlooked.
There are a number of schools in our database with over fifteen essay requirements, many of which are department-specific or scholarship-oriented. Use these results to your benefit and increase your opportunities to receive that no-strings-attached funding.
