We are pleased to announce that after a three year hiatus occasioned by Covid related concerns, we’ll be resuming the tradition of holding our High School Scholarship Essay Contest Finals in person again this year. The prompt for this year’s contest, chosen by a vote of our members, is the following quotation from the renowned primatologist, environmentalist, and animal rights activist, Dr. Jane Goodall:
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
The 10 finalists will present their essays orally at a luncheon at the Hilton Arden West, 2200 Harvard Street, in Sacramento, on Sunday, April 30, and a distinguished panel of judges from the community will choose the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. We’ll be awarding a total of $15,000 in scholarships again this year, with all 10 finalists receiving at least $1,000, and with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners receiving $3,000, $2,500, and $2,000, respectively.
