Help: Apply Texas Scholarships- Urgent!

Hi,

I want to submit my ApplyTX apps for UT and A&M, and I heard that I can submit my scholarship application after submitting my college application. My question is, do I have to submit Topic C and the Personal Essay (optional essays required for scholarship) along with my required essays at the time I submit my application? or is it possible for me to go back and submit them later with the scholarship app?

I'm not sure because submitting your application + required essays would mean that you can't edit it anymore, right? And since Topic C and Personal Essay are in the essay sections, wouldn't that mean you won't be able to access it anymore because it's part of the application?

*Can I submit my application with the two required essays and then come back to finish essay C and the personal essay with the scholarship app?


Also, Topic C essay and Personal essay seems to have almost the same prompt.. is it ok for me to write the personal essay and just add in the "ways in which I might contribute to an institution committed to creating a diverse learning environment"?


Topic C

There may be personal information that you want considered as part of your admissions application. Write an essay describing that information. You might include exceptional hardships, challenges, or opportunities that have shaped or impacted your abilities or academic credentials, personal responsibilities, exceptional achievements or talents, educational goals, or ways in which you might contribute to an institution committed to creating a diverse learning environment.


Personal Essay

shaped or impacted your abilities, academic credentials, or educational goals.



Thank you so much!
