Getting Started

The Scholarship Essay Contest WordPress Plugin helps you get more out of your Scholarship Contests.

It lets you bring your scholarship essay and video submission contests to life by allowing your scholarship contestants to post their submissions online and compete with other applicants in a social sharing contest to social shares of their essay and video submissions.

These new postings to your website allows for your new content to be indexed by Google and other search engines, increasing your overall search rankings.

The social shares of the content also helps to further market your brand and establish your website as a leading authority in your chosen domain.
