MWA2 Reflection
Writing this scholarship proposal letter was more personal to me than any of the other writings
we have done in the class; this is because I am very passionate about needing money in order to
get new and better art supplies. As an art student, I dont have to buy books, clickers or online
applications needed for class, I need supplies paints, canvases, pencils, markers, you name it. If
its art supplies, I need it. Unfortunately, art supplies are not cheap and I run through supplies
really fast, and spending $20 a tube of paint can get very expensive over time. So writing about
why I need a scholarship for art supplies was something I was interested in and passionate about.
I was able to keep the focus of my paper on the scholarship by mentioning that I needed art
supplies as well as general funds for my art career; and the only way this could be achieved was
through the Stump scholarship. Pitching myself was not too difficult because I talk about my
relationship with art a lot, and I express my passion and desires to become a better artist quite
frequently. I like to challenge myself and see what better and newer things I can create; this
passion is what I hoped to convey in my proposal letter. Originally, I was planning on changing
my entire proposal letter for a job I was trying to apply for, however upon reading this proposal
that I had first written, I figured that I would benefit from applying for this scholarship more than
wasting my time trying to apply for a job interview that I was not too interested in to begin with.
Outcome C, Writing as a Process I had to do some research to find a scholarship that I would
have a chance to apply to, as well as finding the person who was holding this scholarship so I
could write directly to them. I also had to send my paper to a peer reviewer in class and her
feedback allowed me to rework my writing and make it sound more applicable for the
scholarship.
Outcome I, Research The only research I had conducted for this writing assignment was the on
research the scholarship I could apply for. I had to see if I was even eligible for the scholarship
and I had to see if it would benefit me. This required me to do some looking into various types of
fine art scholarships as well as the people who were in charge of this scholarship. However, the
research I had conducted for how expensive the art supplies are, is caused by me going into an
art store and looking at the supplies I want prices arent pretty!
Outcome E, Grammar and Usage For this assignment, I had to make sure my grammar and
syntax were smooth and flowed well, I would not look like a qualified candidate if my proposal
