Student Prompt Library

Hand-written prompts you can copy into ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI assistant — pre-loaded with the Canadian context (OSAP, Loran, Schulich, etc.) so the AI's first answer is actually useful.

Find my story

Use first — turns a blank page into 3 essay angles you can actually choose from.

I'm applying for the {Loran / Schulich / TD / generic} scholarship. The prompt is: "{paste essay prompt}". Here are 5 things about me:
1. {challenge I overcame}
2. {project I'm proud of}
3. {community work}
4. {a turning point}
5. {what I want to do after university}

Suggest 3 distinct essay angles I could take. For each one give me: a 1-sentence hook, what makes it specific to me (not generic), and what it risks (cliché, too humble, etc.). Pick the strongest one and tell me why.

Tighten this paragraph

Use after each draft section — keeps you from drifting into generic essay-speak.

Rewrite the paragraph below in {requested word count} words. Goals: keep my voice, kill the cliché phrases, replace any abstract claim with one concrete sensory detail, and end with a sentence that moves the story forward (not a moral lesson). After the rewrite, list the exact phrases you cut and why.

Paragraph:
{paste paragraph}

Stress-test my essay

Use on the final draft before submitting.

Read my personal statement below as if you were a scholarship reviewer at {organisation}. After reading, answer in this exact format:
1. One sentence: what is this essay about?
2. The single strongest line.
3. The single weakest line.
4. Three places where the essay sounds generic vs specific.
5. The reviewer's overall impression: would you advance this candidate? Why or why not?
