Suggestions for Next Year's Applicants:

We had a lot of great submissions. Here are a few suggestions to maximize the competitiveness of your application next year.

1. Start by including a title and name in your application, along with the subject or field you are currently studying.

2. Craft your essay specifically for this scholarship. Show us your enthusiasm for the heavy equipment industry - remember, passion is key.

3. Ensure your essay is well-structured with appropriate paragraphs and formatting. Use a word processor for your essay and refrain from submitting screenshots from note-taking apps or images of handwritten notes.

4. If you feel you can express yourself better verbally, consider submitting a YouTube video instead. We noticed a lack of video submissions this year and would love to see more in the future.

5. Finally, please submit your application in PDF format to ensure compatibility and ease of reading.
