Use Google Docs to help you write your personal essay

Many seniors will be working on personal essays as part of their admissions and scholarship applications for university. Why do it alone. Google docs communities can help students collaborate and offer critical support in the personal essay.

The Library Media center can help you build a Google docs community linked to your school e-mail. Upload drafts of your personal essays for others to read and review. Meet online to discuss writing techniques and the admissions process. Be a mentor or just call out for help. :)

Google docs can be accessed from any computer at home or at school.

Scholarship Pursuit

I constructed a web page on scholarships and financial aid for Library 240. I kept that information on Yahoo Geocities. The federal loans and grants sections will probably be the most helpful. I also included a page with a listing of fifteen possible scholarships. Forgive me for the construction of the page, but I am a web design novice.
