Some colleges, especially private schools, require an essay as part of the admissions process for college freshmen. That essay may also help when it comes to paying for college, according to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). Generally, the more exclusive the college, the more important the essay may be in admissions and financial aid decisions. Essays help schools learn more about students by giving them a chance to set themselves apart from other applicants. \u201cCollege essays are a great opportunity for students to show schools who they are and share more about their dreams for the future and educational goals,\u201d Gov. Andy Beshear said. \u201cGive yourself time to edit your essay before you submit \u2014 if your writing is thoughtful and free of errors, it will improve your chances of getting in to the school of your choice and receiving scholarships to attend.\u201d Students, who must write an essay as part of the admissions process, should have a teacher, school counselor or parent review the essay before it is submitted to the college. Some schools let students submit nontraditional essays such as poems, song lyrics or videos, which allow students to display their creativity. KHEAA is the state agency that administers Kentucky\u2019s student financial aid programs, including the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES). Its sister agency, the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation (KHESLC), offers low-cost Advantage Loans to help students and parents pay for college or refinance student loans. For more information about Advantage Loans, visit AdvantageEducationLoan.com. Many of KHEAA\u2019s student aid programs are funded by Kentucky Lottery revenue.
