Writing/Essay Contests

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi, I'd like to introduce myself as an avid writer with strong opinions on so many controversial issues that exist in the world/society today. I absolutely love writing about the sorts of persuasive or expository topics that are pertinent to the underlying conflicts of environment, religion, equality, and much more.</p>

<p>Does anyone know about any essay/writing contests that are out there that could possibly give scholarships for selected essays? I've already looked at a few related to global warming, evolution/creationism in schools, and poverty, but was wondering if there were more organizations that were granting scholarships. I appreciate your efforts.</p>

<p>Thank you,
Ben</p>

<p>If you have an interest in business, entrepreneurship, or environmental issues, you could maybe do this essay contest Knowledge@Wharton</a> High School </p>

<p>The prizes are non-monetary (laptops, printers, airline tickets), but it could look good on your college apps.</p>
