  1. Describe your career goals and how you feel STC will help you achieve them (500-1000 words).
  2. Describe any experience in technical communication or related areas (project planning, project analysis, content development, organizational design, written communication, visual communication, reviewing and editing, content management, and production and delivery). You may include volunteer activities and class projects, as well as work experience. Résumés and samples are not accepted (250-500 words).  
  3. Describe a trend in technical communication that excites you and explain why (250-500 words).

Applicants should not send samples of work, as samples will not be reviewed by the committee.

The completed application must be accompanied by:  

  1. A copy of the latest transcript from the school currently or last attended. Official or unofficial transcripts are acceptable.
  2. Letters of recommendation from two professionals; at least one must be from a faculty member. Please ask your recommenders to notify you when they’ve submitted their letters. The letters MUST be received by the scholarship deadline for the committee to consider the application.
