interviewer will say to you in an individual interview. Begin with where you’re from.
Then go on to make a statement or two about your family. You might add why you want
to attend the university. Then share information about yourself that is not in your
scholarship application. What have you enjoyed about high school? What do you do for
fun? What part of college life are you looking forward to?
• Prepare a written response then run it by your favorite teacher. Ask for honest
feedback. Then, convert the paragraph to bullet points with simple words and
brief phrases you can remember without memorizing them. Limit your response
to two minutes. Practice, practice, practice until you are comfortable talking
about yourself

and think about questions. You need to hear yourself giving answers.
