Alert Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Alert Magazine

Value: $500
Awards Available: 1

You can help others become more alert by speaking out against the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. All eligible high school seniors (see requirements below) may enter the Alert college scholarship essay contest. With each edition of Alert Magazine we award a $500 college scholarship to the writer of the best drug and/or alcohol abuse-related essay that we receive for that 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).

requirements

  • 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. Scholarship essays are judged in the same way that essays written for a high school English class would be: thesis statement, supporting content, grammar, punctuation, etc.
  • Essays must be typed, double-spaced, and 650–800 words in length.
  • Essays must include an official copy of your high school transcripts.
  • Essays must also include a recent photo. Scholarship winners will have their picture reprinted in our magazine along with their winning essay, so please send a good quality color photo (no blurry printouts).
  • No application is needed and there is no deadline, but you must meet the eligibility requirements and include all of the items listed above to be considered.

how to apply

Email your essay, official school transcripts, photo (high quality file or scan), school name, and contact info (phone number, address, and e-mail) to: TheAlertMagazine@gmail.com.

When is the scholarship deadline?

There is no deadline. The scholarship is ongoing and one is awarded with the publication of each edition of Alert magazine—approximately once or twice per year for each state/region. If you meet the eligibility requirements then you may apply at any time.
