I hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer.
The Network of enlightened Women, known as NeW, is hosting our annual scholarship essay contest again this year and I wanted to share the information with you for any students you believe might be interested in participating.
We are inviting female high school juniors and seniors and women enrolled in an undergraduate institution to reflect on important qualities of leadership and their own leadership experiences in a 600-750 word essay. The winners of the high school and college categories will win a $500 scholarship and the chance to be published in a national publication. The contest is now open and will run until July 27.
Who: Female high school juniors and seniors and women enrolled in an undergraduate institution
Deadline: Wednesday, July 27, 2022 at 11:59pm ET
Prize: $500 for the first place winners of the College and High School Categories. The first place essays will have the opportunity to be published.
Interested participants can find more information and apply to the contest here: https://enlightenedwomen.org/
If you or any of your students have questions about the contest, they can reach out to my colleague, Kathryn Alford at kathryn@enlightenedwomen.org.
Thank you,
