<p>How do essay scholarships that say they can only be used for tuition work with merit based scholarships given by the university. I will probably be attending a local public university that will be giving me enough money to pay for tuition, room and board, meals, etc. Is writing essays for scholarships a waste of time?</p>
<p>If the university is going to pay for all of ur tuition and the scholarship is only for tuition then there is no point in going after the scholarship.</p>
