Spread out your school transcripts, resume, special certificates, and your scholarship application, turned to the page where the supporting statement questions are located, in front of you on a table.
Write down "Intro" on the top of the page. Write down the points you wish to cover in the introduction paragraph of the supporting statement. This information includes a catchy opening, who you are, the name of the scholarship program, and a statement that ties the introduction into the rest of the statement.
Write an abridged version of the first question in the scholarship application. Write down the points you wish to address and answer. Be very specific with your answers. For instance, one of the questions may be, "Why do you want to go to this particular school?" Your answer should include personal reasons as well as any experience you have in the subjects that the school covers, or how the school might help your work or internship resume look more appealing to employers. For instance, if you are wishing to attend a high school for the arts, you can include different exhibitions your art has been included in, plays you have performed in, and/or concerts you have participated in.
Write down valid points that you will cover in your supporting statement that answer each question. Each question that is asked on your application should have its own paragraph.
Write "Conclusion" as your last section to your draft outline. This paragraph should tie the introduction and each subsequent paragraph together to make the statement complete. You can include how this high school will help you achieve your long-term goals for your career, and emphasize how much you are interested in attending this school and the scholarship that you will need. Also outline the points that will describe why the scholarship program should choose you over anyone else.
Use the draft outline as your guide and compose your introduction. Do not use the word "Introduction" as a section header. Unless otherwise specified, use a 12 point, Times New Roman, black font, double-spaced format. Set up footers that will count the page numbers.
Write out each question in bold as it appears on the scholarship application to use them as section headers for the body of your supporting statement. Use your draft outline as a guide to write the body of the statement. Include specific examples from your resumes, transcripts and certificates to show how qualified and prepared you are for this high school.
Do not use a section header for the conclusion paragraph. Your first phrase or words can say something along the lines of "In conclusion," "In closing," or "Lastly,". Again, use the draft outline to compose this paragraph, and include all the information that you have written down.
Print out your rough draft. Go through the rough draft, or have someone who is competent in spelling and grammar or proofreading go through the rough draft. With a red pen, outline the things that need to be changed.
Correct the supporting statement on your computer, using the marked-up rough draft as a guide. Provide one last read through the statement to make sure that everything is as you want it to be before printing your final draft.
Print the final draft and include it with your scholarship application to attend the Australian high school of your choice.
