Essay Question

The purpose of the Mainely Character Scholarship is to recognize and reward individuals who demonstrate one or more of the following qualities:

Courage: Taking risks and following your conscience with fearlessness

Integrity: Being truthful and trustworthy to yourself and others

Responsibility: Conveying an attitude of commitment and conviction

Concern: Demonstrating compassion and a caring attitude toward others while helping them to achieve their best

In 500 words or less, show how you demonstrate one or more of the qualities of character using an experience you have had, an event you have participated in or an action that you have taken.

Please Note: An essay describing the “concept” of character is not helpful to us. We are looking for specific examples from your life and experiences and how they demonstrate your character. While we appreciate well written essays, the content is more important to us your writing ability.
