APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

C T PATTERSON SCHOLARSHIP FOR EXCELLENCE

 

Complete the enclosed application by placing the required information in the shaded fields of the form.

 

Write an essay on one of the *Essay Topics, following the Guidelines below.

 

ESSAY GUIDELINES

 

The Essay should be a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 1500 words.

 

The Essay should be completed in digital format (preferably in Microsoft Word) so it can be transmitted as an attachment to an email.

 

All thoughts expressed in the Essay should be yours and yours alone.  There isn’t anything wrong with quoting material that supports what you are saying or a philosophy or statement with which you agree.  But in those cases, credit must be given to the original author of the quoted material.  Here’s an example:  “I think that reaching the rank of Black Belt is a worthy goal. But reaching the rank of Black Belt certainly does not mean that one has learned everything and knows everything about Karate that there is to know.  Master Otsuka even said, “Black Belt is the beginning of understanding” “

(paraphrased).  That would be acceptable.  Plagiarism will not be tolerated.  However, there is no need for any footnotes and a bibliography.
