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.

Score my scholarship list

Use when you've added 8+ scholarships and want to know which to attack first.

I am a {grade-12 / first-year / Master's} student in {province} applying to the scholarships in the list below. For each one, score my odds of winning from 1–5 based on this profile: {GPA, top extracurriculars, strongest essay topic, financial need}. Then sort the list from best ROI (high odds × high $) to worst, and tell me which 3 I should focus on this month and which 3 I should skip. Be honest, not flattering.

Scholarships:
1. {Name — $ amount — deadline — main requirement}
2. ...

Build a 4-week sprint plan

Use to convert your tracker into a daily action plan.

Here is my scholarship tracker. Today's date is {DATE}. Build me a 4-week sprint plan (Mon–Sun blocks of 5 hrs/week) that gets every Tier 1 application (scholarships I marked high priority) submitted at least 5 days before its deadline. Include essay draft days, reference letter request days, and one final review pass. Output as a checklist, not prose.
