If I get a scholastic art and writing award (winner earns a scholoship) every year will that help me to get to yale. This is a curious question becuase I'm doing this this years and every year till my senior year.
I know there other scholorships but will that help me to get to Yale. My friend said that I need a full scholorship to get into Yale such as gym .... and so on.
This is a yes or no question if it's no please explain why.
No.
The Ivy League schools get many, many more great applicants from all over the world than they can possibly accept. They're looking for brilliant, well-rounded students, with top SAT scores and strong leadership abilities.
ok ....
because the winner earns a about $2,500 scholorship.
Mu uncule went to standford and he got a black advievment award every year (no joke).
Besides if I did won that I will earn more and more.
I'm doing the Pier 1 gift card contest and winner earns a 5,000 sholorship and their drawing will be the 2012 gift card season.

About the Awards
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have an impressive legacy dating back to 1923 and a noteworthy roster of past winners including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford and Joyce Carol Oates.
The Awards are an important opportunity for students to be recognized for their creative talents. Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual and literary-arts focused organizations across the country to bring The Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published.
Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
To date, the Awards have encouraged over 13 million students, recognized more than 9 million young artists and writers, and made available more than $25 million in awards and scholarships. They continue to be the longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in the U.S., and the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers.

Good luck, Laruen. I encourage you to enter as many of these contests as you can. All of these experiences and awards will help you develop as a student, artist, and person. But don't neglect the academics. Grades and SAT scores are probably the most important for getting into the college of your choice.

Receiving a Scholastic Art and Writing Award every year can potentially enhance your college application, but it is important to understand that it is just one aspect of your overall application. Admission to highly selective colleges like Yale is based on a holistic review of various factors such as academic achievements, extracurricular activities, essays, recommendations, and more.
That being said, consistent recognition through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards can demonstrate your talent, commitment, and passion in the arts, which can certainly be perceived as favorable by admissions committees. Winning these awards shows that you have achieved a high level of recognition among a pool of talented artists and writers.
To maximize the impact of these awards on your college application, here are some tips:
1. Maintain a strong academic record: Yale and other top colleges also place significant importance on your academic performance, so make sure to excel in your coursework as well.
2. Pursue other related opportunities: While the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are prestigious, try to seek out additional opportunities to showcase your skills, such as participating in other art shows, exhibitions, or competitions.
3. Cultivate your portfolio: Use your high school years to build a strong portfolio that showcases your best art and writing pieces. Continuously improve your work and experiment with different styles and techniques.
4. Seek recommendation letters: Request recommendation letters from teachers, mentors, or professionals who can speak to your artistic abilities and the impact they have witnessed in your work.
5. Craft compelling essays: Use your college essays to highlight your experiences, growth, and the personal significance of your artistic achievements. Reflect on how your dedication to the arts has shaped your aspirations and perspective.
Remember that admission to top-tier colleges like Yale is highly competitive, and they consider a multitude of factors in their decision-making process. While the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards can be impressive, it is essential to build a well-rounded application that showcases your various talents, interests, and accomplishments.
