Proof-Reading.com Scholarship Program

Name: The Proof-Reading.com Scholarship Program

Award Amount: $1,500

Information And Eligibility:
The Proof-Reading.com Scholarship Program is an annual writing-based scholarship designed to reward strong academic writers who can demonstrate exceptional command of grammar, clarity, structure, and research skills. Each year, students are asked to write an essay responding to a specific prompt selected by Proof-Reading.com. The essay must show not only mastery of the English language but also the ability to communicate complex ideas in a clear, organized, and academically rigorous way. Because the scholarship focuses heavily on writing quality, research accuracy, and proper source citation, it appeals especially to students who excel in humanities disciplines, though applicants from all majors are welcome.

Essays must be a minimum of 1,500 words, with no maximum limit, giving students the freedom to explore their topic thoroughly. All essays must include a Works Cited page with at least three scholarly or reputable sources, and the paper must follow MLA documentation guidelines exactly. This ensures that applicants demonstrate academic integrity, attention to detail, and the ability to follow formal writing standards—skills that are vital for successful college-level writing across all disciplines.

The scholarship is awarded to one full-time undergraduate student each cycle. In addition to the $1,500 award, recipients benefit from the prestige of being recognized by an organization that specializes in proofreading, editing, and academic writing support. Eligible students must be enrolled at an accredited four-year U.S. college or university, be legal U.S. residents or valid green card holders, and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
