The maximum word count is 1,000 with a minimum of 700, not including citations and bibliography. Use at least five varied sources such as government documents, letters, newspaper articles, books, and/or personal interviews.

Contest Topic

Describe and analyze an act of political courage by a U.S. elected official who served during or after 1917, the year John F. Kennedy was born. Include an analysis of the obstacles, risks, and consequences associated with the act. The essay may concern an issue at the local, state, national, or international level.

Since originality is one of the criteria for judging, we strongly encourage students to profile an official in their town, state or region, or a leader who has addressed an issue of great concern to them. We advise students to avoid selecting a common essay subject.

Eligibility

The contest is open to United States high school students in grades nine through twelve attending public, private, parochial, or home schools; U.S. students under the age of twenty enrolled in a high school correspondence/GED program in any of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, or the U.S. territories; and U.S. citizens attending schools overseas. Past winners and finalists are not eligible to participate. Employees of John Hancock Financial Services and members of their families are not eligible to participate.

This may require providing income tax return information.

National judging

Finally, the National Scholarship Chairs conduct additional rounds of judging to select the regional and national winners. Each applicant can receive only one Mensa Foundation scholarship per year; therefore, the winners are chosen beginning at the highest dollar amounts. The next highest scores receive awards of the next lower amounts, and so on until all the winners are chosen based on the judges' scores.

The final list of scholarship winners is presented to the Mensa Foundation Board of Trustees, who certify the winners. Winners are notified by mail and given instructions for claiming their award. They are required to submit proof of registration in a degree program during the following academic year as well as proof of U.S. citizenship. After the verification is received, the checks are written and students receive the funds to help them pursue their education.

Be The First One Scholarship

Deadline: May 15, 2022-Amount of scholarship-$1,000 (2)

As a part of my company and passion project, Won Day, I am committed to inspiring students to incorporate goal setting into their lives and establish a foundation for sustained success. I grew up in a household that was subjected to a long-standing generational curse of alcoholism plus mental and emotional abuse, and I personally understand how others that grew up in similar households can unintentionally become the next one to carry that torch.

It is a part of my personal mission to help our youth steer away from becoming the next one to carry the torch of a generational curse, and be the first one to break it.

That is why I have established the Be The First One Scholarship. I want to support at least two graduating seniors in South Carolina this year who have been impacted by a generational curse in their household and that are doing something to change it. I understand that many of these students likely do not have college funds waiting for them, as I did not when it came time to attend The Citadel. Any bit counts.

There are no GPA requirements, simply share your story and show that you have been accepted into a college and / or are pursuing a business and can provide proof of a LLC.

 

Application Deadline - 5/15/2022

About

The Undergraduate Scholarship Program is a financial needs-based initiative that offers undergraduate students an unmatched experience in a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. Undergraduate students, serving as scholarship recipients with CIA, attend an accredited college/university on a full-time basis and work during summer breaks at the Agency. While working at CIA, you will be exposed to real intelligence challenges while performing meaningful work that relates to your college major. An IT major, for example, might be given increasingly complex projects involving sophisticated computer systems. An engineering major might help produce a piece of state-of-the-art equipment. A finance major could be involved in developing and analyzing budgets for a worldwide operation, while a foreign language major might be instrumental in translating documents for U.S. policymakers. An international relations major might brief a senior policymaker and, as a final example, a human resources major could have the opportunity to develop and implement personnel policies and procedures.

Because CIA invests in scholarship recipients, accepting an offer means continued employment with the Agency for a specified timeframe. You are required to work at the Agency after college graduation for a period equal to 1.5 times the length of the college sponsorship you received from CIA. Students who leave earlier are required to reimburse the U.S. Government for their tuition. All positions require relocation to the Washington, DC area during summer work tours.

There is still time to join the USAR or National Guard, attend basic as a split option and come out of AIT their senior summer with college paid for.  My National Guard Simultaneous Member Cadets generally MAKE money to attend UofSC. 

 

UofSC system schools charge reservists (Guard and Reserve) HALF of the normal tuition rate, roughly $6,000 per year when normal in state tuition is just over $12,000 per year USAR Soldiers get $4,000 in TA and SCANG Soldiers get $8,500. 

 

My GBR, was a self admittedly “just okay high school student”.  He was not on the scholarship track academically.  He enlisted in the USAR as an 11^th grader.  He “found himself” with the assistance of some drill sergeants (funny how that happens).  This December, he walked away from UofSC after putting money in his pocket every semester in the 4 years he was here (and graduating with a double major, double minor and a 3.7 to boot)

 

Long term, the Army is going to get smaller – next year the end strength will be 473,000 about 12,000 smaller than this year.  This will by necessity reduce these educational opportunities.  With a smaller number of scholarships to offer, the quality of the student in the “winner’s pool” will go up.

 

I can’t stress enough the importance of these things for your potential scholarship applicants: 

 

1. Playing sports – we evaluate a scholarship applicant on the Scholar, Athlete, Leader model.  The vast majority of JROTC kids don’t play HS (or any) sports – that’s a third of their interview points gone.  They don’t have to be the captain of the football team – but they do need to get on the field (any field, track, court or pool).  They don’t even have to be on a high school team necessarily as long as they’re in some kind of competitive activities 9-12^th grade.  Run 5 and 10ks regularly (at least once a month), participate in martial arts, shoot a bow or an air rifle or skeet competitively…
2. Academic achievement – another third of the interview points.  Honors and AP courses are critical (but a high GPA is more important than a B or a C in an AP class where they made a 1 on the test).  NHS membership.  Solid SAT or ACT – no minimum to apply but we still use test scores in the “whole person review”.  
3. Leadership Positions – yet another third of the interview points.  They need to lead something, Cadet Battalion Commander (maybe have 3 changes of command Jr and Sr years), Team Captains (here Raider and Drill teams count) Student government, clubs athletic teams.  Have them start an organization and lead it.  Take on a leadership role in the community or at church.  Do you have a “trash pick up program”?  Name the “trash pick program” The Smith High School Green Club, put a cadet in charge of it and give him or her a leadership position.  “Sqd leader in JROTC” doesn’t count.

2020-2021 MERIT AWARDS

Coastal Carolina University offers a percentage-based merit awards program. The percentage-based program means that award amounts will increase to match any increase in tuition. Please see the regulations below for more details. 

Students are automatically considered for University merit-based awards, following acceptance to CCU. There is no separate application process.

New, incoming undergraduate students, both freshmen and transfers, are eligible for consideration.

Students are eligible to receive only one award from the merit-based award program. This includes the VPA Merit-based and PGM Merit-based awards. Out-of-state students who are granted access to the Academic Common Market tuition waiver are not eligible for additional tuition reduction through the University's merit award program. The Honors Program invitation is not considered a merit-based award.

The primary criteria used to determine freshman applicants’ merit award eligibility are grade point average and standardized test scores; however, a comprehensive review of the following factors may be considered in determining eligibility:

• Cumulative high school grade point averages – both weighted and unweighted, as applicable.
• Standardized test scores – SAT (combined math and evidenced based reading and writing scores) or ACT (composite score).
• Institutionally calculated “core” grade point average (see Freshman Admission Requirements for more information).
• Rigor of high school coursework (ie. Honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual enrollment).
• Rank within graduating class.
• Academic recommendations.
• Writing samples.
• Resumes, including leadership and work experience, as well as extracurricular involvement and activities.

Additional items for merit award consideration may be submitted electronically to meritawards@coastal.edu.

2020 PALMETTO BOYS STATE
Deadline: February 28, 2020   CANCELLED

The American Legion’s Boys State program is a unique way for young men to learn about the American system of government and politics by participating in a mock governmental system. June 7 - 13, 2020 hosted by Anderson University. 

Palmetto Boys State is the top program in the country thanks to the unique learning environment. In addition to participating in a mock government system, Boys Staters have the unique opportunity to explore potential career paths through our different schools including the Performing Arts School, Criminal Justice Academy, and Law School. It is a great honor to be chosen as a delegate to Palmetto Boys State. Many of our state’s political and business leaders were once Boys Staters. More than 900 boys are recommended each year by their teachers and counselors to attend Boys State. While at Boys State, delegates will learn about state, city, and local government. They will also learn how the political process works in our state. Boys Staters will also learn how partisan politics operate. Delegates will have an opportunity to compose a party platform, prepare speeches, and run for every elected office in the state. These offices range from mayor of one’s city all the way to governor of the state.

You cannot apply. Palmetto Boys State is a program sponsored by the American Legion. The local American Legion posts select young men to attend Palmetto Boys State between their Junior and Senior years of High School. The selection process is conducted through each local legion post. Submit the attached application to your high school counselor. The American Legion has established certain qualifications for prospective Boys State citizens.

Here are the recommended guidelines that are employed by most American Legion Boys State programs:
   • Only males who have successfully completed their junior year of high school and have at least one more semester of high school remaining are considered eligible to participate.
   • Any boy who has previously attended an American Legion Boys State is not eligible to attend a second session.
   • Only boys with outstanding qualities of leadership, character, scholarship, and loyalty and service to their schools and community should be considered.
   • In the actual selection of boys as citizens of Boys State, merit and ability alone are the basis for selection.

American Legion Boys States are in compliance with federal handicap laws. Palmetto Boys State requires a medical/parental consent certificate signed by a guardian.

2021 STOP THE BLEED Scholarship Program
Deadline: April 21, 2021

Are you a high school student? You can help yourself and help your school by a) making a 1 to 2-minute video or b) writing an essay from 250 to 500 words addressing one of the topic areas below.

The “Stop the Bleed” campaign was initiated by a federal interagency workgroup convened by the National Security Council Staff and The White House. The purpose of the campaign is to build national resilience by better preparing the public to save lives by raising awareness of basic actions to stop life-threatening bleeding following everyday emergencies and man-made and natural disasters.

Resilience: Being able to confront a traumatic event and be able to move forward and act as needed.

Topic #2: Describe or show how Stop the Bleed training can help at an accident before emergency responders arrive.

Driving is a big responsibility. According to the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration, in the United States alone there are more than 6-million car accidents each year – resulting in nearly 36,000 fatalities. Since teen-related accidents account for the most injuries and fatalities, how can Stop the Bleed training benefit you and those that may be at risk of traumatic hemorrhaging prior to the arrival of emergency responders?

Topic #3: Make the case: Do you think some or all students should be required to learn to Stop the Bleed?

A growing number of states across the country have enacted legislation requiring Stop the Bleed training for high school students. In some states, it is a graduation requirement. Tell us and support your opinion about requiring Stop the Bleed training for high school students.

First Place $3000 Scholarship awarded to the student + 30 STOP THE BLEED^® Kits to the student’s high school

Second Place $1500 Scholarship awarded to the student + 15 STOP THE BLEED^® Kits to the student’s high school

Third Place $500 Scholarship awarded to the student + 5 STOP THE BLEED^® Kits to the student’s high school

Winning students will receive scholarship money towards post-secondary education. The schools of the winning students will receive free STOP THE BLEED^® Kits.

This year’s program consists of National Scholarships and State Scholarships. Every student submitting an application is eligible for the National Scholarships. Students who attend school in states with State Scholarships are automatically eligible for those scholarships, too (note: applicants are limited to one scholarship award).

Eligibility is limited to high school age students in the US and its territories.
