I'm thrilled to bring back the BaratHaven-Exclusive Scholarship. This year, I wanted to spread the joy and will be giving away TWO $500 scholarships!
The application process is simple. Just follow the directions below, and I'll eagerly await your submissions. Thank you for your interest, and I wish you the best of luck in your academic endeavors!
Step 2: Let's Talk About Your Future
"What are your plans after high school, and how will you use your education to make a positive impact—in your future career, community, or the world?"
Whether you’re headed to college, trade school, the military, or jumping right into a career, I want to hear how you're planning to make your mark. Tell me about your goals, the "why" behind them, and how you hope to give back or create change—big or small.
🗓️ ALL ESSAYS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY AUG 8.
Step 3: Write your Essay
Once you’ve gathered your thoughts, pull up a chair and get writing!
Please keep your essay to a minimum of 400 words so we can really get a feel for who you are and what matters most to you. Don’t overthink it—just speak from the heart.
Step 4: Submit Your Essay
Before submitting:
-
Double-check your grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
- Yes, I know you'll probably use ChatGPT—and that’s okay! Just know I’ll be paying close attention to how well you prompted it to sound like you. This essay should reflect your voice, thoughts, and heart—not a robot’s.
-
Add your name and street address to the top of your document or in the header/footer.
-
Email your essay as an attachment to jcolin@bhhsselectstl.com with a quick note introducing yourself.
✉️ Reminder: The deadline is August 8—no late entries, please!
