Scholarship Essay Competition

February 22, 2009

Crucians In Focus is sponsoring its first Scholarship Essay Competition.

We believe that identifying and supporting our future leaders is as important as keeping a watchful eye on our current public officials. Through this competition we will give deserving students a chance to earn a $5,000 scholarship to use to defray the high cost of their college education.

Students will be asked to compose a five-page essay on the life of Barack Obama and discuss how the leadership characteristics he possesses can be used to help them be successful in their academic pursuits and ultimately assist them as future leaders in the Virgin Islands.

Participants must be high school seniors in good standing who have been accepted at an accredited college or university. Proof of acceptance will be required before the award is presented.

Applications are available at the administrative offices at Central High School and the St. Croix Educational Complex. All entries should be typed and submitted via email to CruzansInFocus@yahoo.com by Friday, May 22, 2009.
