It seems kind of ironic to know that your whole future clings to an omitted comma. Sadly, in order to get scholarship and enroll a University, you have to pay a lot of attention to the way you write and try to give in the best paper possible for review.
The language that you use must be professional, well-structured, up-to-the-point yet deep and meaningful. There is no software that can write a paper for you, but there are a few useful tools which will ease the pain of proofreading and make your work outstanding.
Grammarly
Grammarly analyzes your text and points out all the grammatical mistakes as well as some common language mistakes. However, the paid version of Grammarly has an enormous data base of suggestions which are offered as a replacement for you in order to improve your paper. This is the most popular tool used by many writers all over the internet.
PolishMyWriting
PolishMyWriting is completely free and it indicates mistakes made in grammar, vocabulary, syntax and spelling – all marked by a different color. This is a really simple tool and you should do proofreading twice on your own before proceeding to proofreading it via PolishMyWriting.
PaperRater
This is a rather interesting tool due to the fact that it does not only correct your language mistakes but also make suggestion about the title and even grades your paper. There is a tab on the right which makes certain overall statistics about your paper and although it is not always accurate, it still can help you improve.
Ginger
Ginger is thorough. It has the perfect algorithm which can help you locate even the smallest mistake and eventually get your paper right. It can be downloaded as an app as well for your smartphone or you can just download the installation to your PC.
To sum up, thanks to technology, we are now able to ask machines for help and improve our papers. However, bear in mind that proofreading is not only correcting mistakes. Proofreading means re-reading the text several times, slowly, thinking about its ability to convey the message with clarity. Therefore, apart from just relying on programs, it is better to just think for a while about what we wrote and see if there is a better way to say something.
Once you master proofreading, you will definitely increase your chance of receiving the scholarship.
