Scholarship help! Please come in!!

Hi everyone!  I need opinions!

I'm applying for a scholarship for my Architecture Registration Exams.  The scholarship will cover the cost of study material and the 7 exams.  They are requesting a biography, resume, and recommendation letters.  I reformatted everything and I'm waiting on the letters from my bosses.

Well, there is a portion of the application that is asking for a "statement of contribution to the profession."  Do you all see this being formated like a Cover letter?  I feel like I put that statement in my Biography and Resume, so I feel like I'm writing the same thing all over again.

The people I want to ask are out of the office, so I wanted to get an outside opinion.

Can you ask someone on LinkedIn that you know in your profession what they might have done, or maybe someone at the scholarship office?

I would assume they are looking more for what you want to contribute to the profession after you are licensed, not what you have already done which as you said is covered in your bio and resume.

I think I would approach it more like a personal statement, college admissions essay type of thing.

I found their FB page, so I will contact them from there.

I like the idea of approaching it like a personal statement. I may try that. Thanks!
