About Scholarship
Each year, qualified African-American and Black junior and senior high school students participate in the CBC Spouses Essay Contest. The essay contest provides academically talented and highly-motivated high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to address a topic that embodies some of our communities' most pressing issues and are asked to write an essay to defend their research, analyses and opinion. Essay contestants must reside in a district represented by a Congressional Black Caucus Member. Essays should be original compositions; no less than 750 words, and no more than 1000 words with evidence that supports their findings. Essays will be judged on overall content, quality, universality, style and grammar and alignment with the contest theme. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. for more information.
Offered by: Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.
