If I don't receive an merit-based scholarship as an incoming freshman, can I be considered for one as a transfer or currently-enrolled student?

Unfortunately, we do not extend merit-based scholarships to currently-enrolled students or transfer students. Students not receiving University-sponsored scholarships or financial assistance should research possible outside sources of funding. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
