Scholarship Sponsored by Price Benowitz

Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1

The Outstanding Citizen Scholarship and Essay Contest aim to allow demonstrated community leaders and dedicated citizens to pursue education to inform and better their causes. We are proud to sponsor the discussion on good citizenship for the fifth year in a row. It truly means a lot to us to offer educational benefits to individuals who demonstrate outstanding citizenship.

This essay contest and the $1,000 scholarship associated with it are open to individuals throughout the U.S. who are enrolled in an accredited post-secondary institution during the 2023 school year.

Criteria For Eligibility And Selection

Those eligible for the 2023 Outstanding Citizen Scholarship essay contest must comply with the following criteria:

  • All candidates must be currently enrolled or planning to enroll by Fall 2023 into an accredited post-secondary program, which includes: community colleges, private or public undergraduate colleges and universities, private or public graduate degree programs, law programs, and business programs. If the essay contest winner cannot provide evidence of enrollment at the time of scholarship disbursement, a new winner will be selected.
  • All candidates have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater.
  • All candidates must possess a proven commitment to citizenry, as demonstrated by their essay and resumé.

Application Criteria

A submission is considered “complete” when it includes:

  • An updated resumé that includes academic, professional, and volunteer experiences focused on community service and citizenry.
  • A 500 – 1,000 word essay that answers the following question: What is one of the most important ways an individual can serve their community, and how have you served your community in this way?
  • A current official academic transcript indicates that the candidate’s cumulative grade-point average is 3.0 or greater. (Note: applicants who cannot furnish an official transcript from their current institution may submit both an unofficial transcript from their current place of learning, as well as an official transcript from the last school they attended.)
  • A letter of recommendation from someone who can attest to your great work on a community service project.

The 2023 Outstanding Citizen Scholarship Essay Contest winner will be announced in Fall 2023.
