This scholarship is for graduating high school seniors. It is a scholarship to help others become more alert by speaking out against the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. Write an essay about a personal encounter you or someone you know has had with drug and/or alcohol abuse. In your essay explain how the situation was dealt with, what you learned from it, what others can learn from the experience, and what was right or wrong (in your opinion) about the way the incident or problem was handled.
There is no deadline. The scholarship is ongoing and one is awarded with the publication of each edition of Alert magazine—approximately two times per year for each state/region.
Eligibility:
- You must currently be a senior in high school.
- Your high school must be located in one of the following states: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington or Wyoming.
- You must have a grade point average of 2.5 or better.
- You must have plans to attend college after graduation (the college you will attend can be located in any state).
