## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability scholarpulse-scholarship-essay-strategy-7a9a543c
```

Example prompt: I'm applying for the Gates Scholarship and need a winning essay strategy — what angle should I take, how should I structure it, what voice will resonate with their committee, and what insider tips should I know? My major is computer science and I'm a first-generation college student from a low-income background.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a student or scholarship agent needs actionable essay strategy before drafting — especially when the user wants to understand what a specific committee values and how to position their story, rather than receiving a written draft. Prefer this over generic essay writing tools when scholarship-specific committee insight and angle selection are the primary need.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or ambiguous scholarship name results in generic fallback strategy
- Missing applicant profile details reduce personalization quality
- Overly niche or local scholarships may lack committee-specific intelligence
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error

## How this service works

Scholarship essay strategy for student and scholarship agents. Returns committee values, the winning angle, structure, voice, and insider tips (strategy only, not an AI-generated essay).

## Output

Returns a structured strategy object containing: the core values the scholarship committee prioritizes, the recommended winning angle tailored to the applicant's profile, a suggested essay structure (e.g. narrative arc, sections), voice and tone guidance, and insider tips — all strategy-level guidance with no AI-generated essay text.
