SUMMER 2008 Scholarship Essay Contest
The BlackStudents.com
SUMMER 2008 Scholarship Essay Contest will award $500 to an African-American
student. The scholarship is NOT an academic scholarship - It is
entirely based on an essay submission.
Who's
Eligible?
To be eligible for the scholarship award, one or both of your
parents must be African-American. The award is not open to students
who live in Africa. You must live in the United States, and attend
or plan to attend a school in the United States. The institution
you choose can be any trade school, college, or university.
How
Do I Apply?
There Are Just Two Steps Involved:
1)
If you haven't already, you must subscribe to BlackStudents.com
- It's 100% free, and we will email you weekly opportunities designed
for African-American students.
2)
After you register with BlackStudents.com, you have until August
31, 2008 to write a 500 word essay on why you feel (or
don't feel) that Hip-Hop music and culture is bad for African
American youth.
Your submission must
be emailed to: scholarship@blackstudents.com
Do not submit your essay through postal mail.
Important
Guidelines:
The subject of your email must be: "BlackStudents.com Summer
2008 Scholarship". Also, your essay submission must be within
the body of the email along with your name and contact info. Do
not email your essay as an attachment.
If you do not follow
these instructions precisely, your entry will be disregarded.
We will review
all submissions and select a winner based on the quality, uniqueness,
and creativity of the content in your essay. By September 30th,
the winner will be awarded $500. We will not publish the winning
essay, but will announce the name of the winner, and the school
he/she attends. If you are the winner, the check will be written
out to you, not your school. So really you can use the money however
you'd like to.
Important
Note:
For questions not answered on this page, you MUST email us at
support@blackstudents.com -- However, we will not respond to pointless
inquiries or questions that have already been answered on this
page.
If you are having doubts
about whether or not you qualify for this scholarship, then you
probably don't.
