Applying for Mensa Scholarship

Currently I am working on submitting an application to the Mensa Education & Research Foundation college scholarship program. Applicants have until Jan. 15 to write an essay of not more than 550 words explaining their academic and/or vocational goals and how they plan to achieve those goals. I REALLY want my essay to stand out. I may give myself a couple of weeks to get it together. Good luck to me.
