There are various points that can help you to write an award winning thesis.
Make sure your essay fits the theme:
Your essay might be brilliantly conceived and written, except if its message is not in line with the rest of your application, it will generate a conflicting message and keep you out of the winners' bracket.

So how do you know what the theme of the essay should be? The answer is actually quite simple and goes back to why you decided to relate for the scholarship in the first place:
The theme of your dissertation is approximately always determined by the reason of the award or why the organization is giving away the money.
Once you know this, you can select which aspect of your life to highlight in the essay.
Share a slice of life:
As you are illumination why you deserve to win, it is significant that you also reveal something about yourself. Clearly, in the short space of 500 to 1,000 words, you can't cover everything about you. This is why one of the most efficient techniques is to share a "slice of your life." In other words, don't try to describe everything. Presently focus on one aspect of your life. If you are writing about your involvement in an activity, it might be tempting to summarize your involvement over years and list numerous accomplishments. Though, this would sound more like a resume and it would not tell judges anything new. Though, if you focus on just one aspect of an experience, you might spend some time going below the surface and share something about which you are, that would be far more memorable. In other words, you would be sharing a slice of the life.
Show passion in your writing:
As a student you have written a lot of essays. Let's be honest, most were most likely on topics you didn't care much about. You may be tempted to approach the scholarship essay in the equivalent way that you did while writing about the Roman Aqueducts, but this would be a disastrous mistake. The last general feature of all winning essays is that they are written on subjects about which the author is truly passionate. It is very hard to fake passion for a subject.
Although when you are genuinely enthusiastic about something, it does not take much effort for that energy to naturally show in your writing. Therefore, as you are choosing a topic, make sure it is something you truly care about and are interested in. Without even trying, you would find that your sentences convey an excitement that the reader can almost feel.
Be specific:
A common mistake in essay writing is to apply general statements in place of specific ones. Don't write, "Education is the key to success." in its place, give the judges a slice of your life that shows them how education has impacted your life in a single experience or realization. If you are writing about your wish to become an astronaut, you may describe how this started when your father bought you a model rocket for the Christmas you were five years old. Focusing on the specific example of your life will help readers relate to the experiences and make sure that your essay is memorable and original.
Have a thesis statement:

It sounds obvious, but make sure that your essay has a clear point, many students' essays don't. Whether you are describing influence of your father or the effect of World War II on race relations, you should have a central idea to communicate to the reader. To see if your essay has a central thesis, try this easy exercise. Ask yourself, "What is the point of my essay in a single sentence?"
Here are several answers that would satisfy the question for essays on independence and drug addition, respectively:
"Growing up in the country taught me to be independent."
"Treatment of addiction is the only way to win the war on drugs."
If you cannot reduce the point of your dissertation into a single sentence, next the main point may not be clear enough. Or worse, the essay may not have a thesis.
Build on your accomplishments:
Winning a scholarship is about impressing the teachers and showing them why you are the best contestant for a monetary award. Your activities, accomplishments, talents and awards all help to prove that you are the best fit. Because you will almost certainly list your activities on the application form, make use of the essay to expand on one or two of the most important ones.
Though, don't just parrot back what is on the application. Use the chance to focus on a specific accomplishment, putting it into the proper context. Share details. Listing on the application that you were a stage manager for a play does not describe that you also had to design and make all the sets in a week. The essay allows you to enlarge on an achievement to demonstrate its significance.
Show positive energy:
Our Mom has probably said: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." everybody likes an uplifting story. Particularly as you have your entire future ahead of you; scholarship judges want to feel your enthusiasm and zest for life. Actually, one reason some people love to volunteer to be scholarship judges is to meet optimistic and enthusiastic young men and women who do not have cynicism or closed minds of a lot of adults.
Try to stay away from essays that are overly antagonistic, pessimistic or critical. This doesn't mean that you have to put a happy spin on every word or that you can't write about a serious problem. However it does mean that you have to not concentrate only on the negative. If you are writing about a problem, present several solutions. Your hopefulness is what makes organizations excited about giving you money to follow your passion for changing world. Don't shy away from this fact.
Find people to read your essays:
There is a writer's saying- "Behind every good writer is an even better editor." If you want to make a money-winning essay, you require the help of others. You don't require a professional editor or even someone who is good at writing. You just require people who can read your work and give useful and positive feedback.
Friends, Roommates, family members, teachers, lecturers or advisors all make great editors. When others read your essay, they would find errors that you missed and they might give suggestions for making the thesis clearer to someone who is not familiar with the topic. You will find out that some editors catch grammar and spelling mistakes other than will not comment on overall quality of the essay. Others will miss technical mistakes but give you great piece of advice on making the substance of your essay better. It is essential to find out both types of editors. As you find others to help improve your essay, be careful that they do not change the work so much that your voice is lost. Editing is essential, other than your writing must always be your own.
Final Thoughts:
Writing scholarship thesis could not be your ideal means to spend night. But keep in mind that these essays can win you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for college. Try to remember when you feel burned out. If you actually get down on writing, take a break. Go outside. Watch some pointless television. After that when you are refreshed get back to the essay.
Every successful scholarship applicant we have met and we would include ourselves here, has at some point got tired or disgusted and contemplated quitting. Except each persevered and did not give up. They pushed ahead and finished their thesis. If they given up, they would never have won scholarship money and that all imperative college diploma would have been a far more costly to accomplishment.
