The
BlackNews.com SUMMER 2009
Scholarship Essay Contest
Funded
by the Diversity City Media Foundation
The
BlackNews.com SUMMER Scholarship is NOT an academic scholarship
- It is entirely based on an essay submission.
Who's
Eligible?
To be eligible for the scholarship award, one or both of your
parents must be African-American. The award is not open to
students who live in Africa or other countries. You must live
in the United States, and attend or plan to attend a school
in the United States. The institution you choose can be any
trade school, college, or university.
How
Do I Apply?
There Are Just Two Steps Involved:
1)
If you haven't already, you must subscribe with BlackNews.com
right now! Its free, and it takes just two seconds! Plus every
Thursday, we will email you the top Black news stories of
the week.
2)
After you subscribe to BlackNews.com, you have until August
31, 2009 to write a 500 word essay on whether
or not you feel that television and movies accurately portray
African Americans.
Your
submission must be emailed to: scholarship@blacknews.com
Do not submit your essay through postal mail.
Important
Guidelines:
The subject of your email must be: "BlackNews.com Summer
2009 Scholarship". Also, your essay submission must be
within the body of the email along with your name and contact
info. Do not email your essay as an attachment.
If
you do not follow these instructions precisely, your entry
will be disregarded.
We
will review all submissions and select a winner based on the
quality, uniqueness, and creativity of the content in your
essay. By September 15, 2009, the winner will be awarded $500.
We will not publish the winning essay, but will announce the
name of the winner, and the school he/she attends. If you
are the winner, the check will be written out to you, not
your school. So really you can use the money however you'd
like to.
Important
Note:
For questions not answered on this page, you MUST email us
at support@blacknews.com -- However, we will not respond to
pointless inquiries or questions that have already been answered
on this page.
If
you are having doubts about whether or not you qualify for
this scholarship, then you probably don't.
