Cfa access scholarship

The application of cfa institute access scholarship begins on 5th may . I am keen towards it. Can't pursue the course without it. I know it is a lotter system. Thinking about any strategy for essay. Do anyone has any trick or loophole that works?

Should I apply with an essay that got awarded for my friend in the past? Does it works? Anything elsee maybe if someone observed pls share (except that lottery system)
