cash, not scholarships. |
|
Description |
An online application is now available. In addition to the
application, a 600-1500 word essay is required. Applicants need
to answer one of the following questions:
1. Why should Americans - like you - help civil rights reformers
in the Middle East? Consider the new
civil rights movement rising today in the Mideast, and make the
case for why Americans should help reformers on the frontlines.
Address the doubts and apathy some people feel towards the
region, and explain why protecting individual rights is so
important.
2. How can you as an individual support the struggle for civil
rights in the Middle East?
Describe the tools at your disposal to help civil rights
reformers and propose a campaign with specific actions that you
can initiate in your community. Rather than wait for the
government to act, outline a gameplan for your campaign.
3. What can the future look like if
Americans - like you - partner with Middle Eastern reformers?
Share your vision of a successful collaboration between Mideast
and American activists. Describe how an effective joint campaign
overcomes key obstacles. If you like, answer the question by
writing a mock newspaper article from the year 2012 reporting on
this new alliance.
Footnotes,
citations, and essay title do not count towards the word limit.
Winners will be notified (and announced on our web site) by July
2008. Judges evaluate each essay for clarity, creativity, and
persuasiveness to determine prize winners. Do
not
focus on US government policy and regional
geo-politics (the Iraq War debate, the Arab-Israeli-Iranian
conflict, Iran's nuclear program, etc.). Essays based on these
topics are disqualified. Judges are looking for essays that
explore what ordinary citizens can do on the grassroots level to
strengthen individual rights
within Middle Eastern societies. These civil rights
include, but are not limited to, free expression, women's
equality, minority rights, religious freedom, economic liberty,
and artistic freedom. |

too, making recovery all the more difficult. Recognizing the
character and perseverance many young people show in the face of
such adversity, the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for
Education is sponsoring the LIFE Lessons Essay Contest for college
students and college-bound high school seniors. Qualified entrants
who submit essays about how the death of a parent or guardian
impacted their lives will be eligible for $15,000 in scholarship
money. In addition to some basic information, you'll need to submit
a brief essay (500 words max) about your experience, and how having,
or not having life, health or other kinds of insurance made a
difference in getting your family back on track. |
