The essays in our scholarship application aim to explore your individual experiences and perspectives so the scholarship selection committees can learn about you and how you best fit what they are looking for. You may utilize AI tools for brainstorming, organizing ideas, or grammar help, but all submitted work must be your own writing. Please refrain from using AI to create complete essays or responses. It’s important that your voice and personal experiences remain central in your submissions.
- Originality Is Key: You are welcome to use AI tools for brainstorming, outlining ideas, or grammar suggestions, but all submitted content must be written by you. Do not use AI to generate full essays or responses.
- Enhance, Don’t Replace: AI can be used to improve the clarity and correctness of your writing (e.g., for grammar or spell-checking). However, your voice and personal experiences should remain central in your responses.
- Ethical Use of AI: Avoid using AI to create or fabricate any part of your application. Misrepresentation of your experiences, achievements, or background through AI generated content is prohibited.
- Human Oversight: Ensure that a human, whether yourself or a trusted mentor, reviews your final application. AI can miss nuances that are important in expressing your authentic self and aligning with our scholarships’ missions.
