Scholarships...and other things.

Alright, so it’s my second semester at a community college and I’m unemployed in the middle of nowhere with no car to drive and in a state with the worst public transit system in america. And the only money I’m getting is from a full pell grant.

So of course, scholarships are pretty appealing to me right now as a way of paying for other expenses. But some of them require essays and letters of recommendation, and I am unsure about these things. Can someone please…


Provide me with a good book on writing these sorts of essays? Maybe an example paper? I know there’s stuff online but I’m a tad paranoid about trusting online sources…
The best way to get a L of R from my professors…In your own experiences do you get them by just doing really well or do you need to frequently converse with them as well?
Inform me of anything else you feel would be helpful.


I really appreciate any advice.
