ATTENTION: THE SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST HAS NOW CLOSED.

Local public schools and their educators have produced America’s most brilliant artists, scientists, doctors, musicians, lawyers, presidents, and more — people from all walks of life, contributing to society in countless ways.

Are you or someone you know graduating in 2019 from a public high school? Help us lift up the importance of public education — with a chance to win a $1,000 college scholarship!

What you’ll need to enter:

• Information about you (name, birthday, name of the public school you’re graduating from, etc.)
• A photo of you holding this Proud #PublicSchoolGrad sign (or make your own with the same text!), in your cap and gown if possible
• A few sentences describing a teacher you had who positively impacted or inspired you
• If you’re under 18, permission from your parents

A panel of judges will review all entries and pick a winner for the $1,000 scholarship. The contest is open now and runs until July 5, 2019.
