RonranGlee Literary Scholarship
Close reading is an underappreciated, wonderful skill that offers unique insights into the world.
Close reading is a very important tool for extracting the most out of one's college learning experience by being able to interpret the underlying meanings of texts. Looking beyond the surface and taking the time and energy to dive deeper is crucial in maximizing one's knowledge.
This scholarship aims to support students who are pursuing higher education and making the most of their time through close reading.
Any high school senior or two or four-year undergraduate student may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, share a paragraph with us and write a short essay sharing your understanding of the underlying meaning.
Please select a paragraph of your choosing (provide a copy of the paragraph in your response), preferably from an ancient literature or philosophy book, and write a short essay expounding your understanding of the writer's underlying meaning of the text. Avoid summarizations and vague language that wanders from your central thesis that should be stated at the beginning of your essay.
