The
OP Loftbed $500 Scholarship Award is awarded by the OP Loftbed Company
to a student whom the judges feel provided the most interesting
answers to a set of questions. Unlike many other scholarships, we
don't discriminate based on your GPA, writing skill, involvement
in community or service organizations, or other criteria to which
many students just don't measure up. We don't ask the traditional
scholarship type questions because we want our applicants and our
judges to have fun. We want to make you think. We want to make you
evaluate yourself. We want to see how creative you are.
We are looking at the overall
answers to all the questions, not necessarily the quality of writing
style. (As a college student, or potential college student, our judges
expect you to use correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence
case.) Your answers should be fun and interesting. Make our judges want to read your answers.
Part of the challenge is conveying your story within the indicated
word limit. Do not repeat the question in your answer; just answer
the question as if a close friend had asked the question. (The correct answer to question number four can be found in the scholarship rules; do not include the quotation marks, do not explain the answer, simply enter the 10 characters--including the space--exactly as the rules state.) The questions
are best answered in a conversational tone. Reading how previous winners answered their questions may help you determine what appeals to our judges.
Note: We highly recommended you first write
your answers with a text editor or word processor, check them for accuracy, and then return
to the scholarship application page to submit your answers. You can simply copy and paste
your answers into the appropriate locations. If you type your answers
on the online application and lose them don't whine to us.
