Essay 4. You have just been awarded a scholarship by a local company. Write a speech you would deliver at the presentation ceremony stating the benefits of the scholarship.

Model answer

Model outline (speech): Open with an expression of gratitude and surprise/honour at being selected. Explain the significance of the scholarship for indigent but brilliant students, easing the financial burden of quality education on families. Detail specific benefits: monthly stipends, educative materials, other allowances (transportation, research), removal of financial distraction so beneficiaries can focus on their studies. Mention accountability requirements (e.g. maintaining good grades to continue receiving the scholarship). Close by thanking the organisation on behalf of all awardees and the audience.
