Announcement, Education, Government
Sanford’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board has announced an opportunity for high school students to earn a $3,500 college scholarship award.
Winners of the Underage Drinking Prevention and Education Award will be selected by a panel of judges from Central Carolina Community College and receive $3,500 in scholarship money.
To apply, students must: complete an application, write a well-researched essay explaining the facts and/or dangers surrounding the use and abuse of alcohol by minors, and develop a plan of action for sharing the research project with classmates and/or their school.
Eligible students must work with a supervising teacher at their school or Sunday school to incorporate their research project into the classroom or school/Sunday school environment. Some examples of incorporating the researched information into the classroom include, but are not limited to: creating class discussion topics related to the dangers of underage drinking; publishing the research paper in the school newspaper; creating a bulletin board or display in the school; incorporating underage drinking prevention tips or facts into school announcements; presenting the research paper to a class or assembly; developing a video that illustrates the researched information; and more.
All students in grade 12 residing in Lee County are eligible, including students in private and public schools, as well as home schooled students. Each entrant must be under the supervision and direction of a teacher/Sunday school teacher.
Essays and student entry forms are due on or before April 18. Students who have family members employed by the North Carolina ABC Commission or the Sanford ABC Board are not eligible.
A total of 20 students will receive scholarship awards of $3,500. Each essay must reflect the student’s own research, writing and original thinking, and only one essay may be submitted by each student.
A sponsoring teacher may sponsor more than one of his/her students. Submissions must include, in addition to the essay, a detailed description of how the student will incorporate the essay’s information and research into the classroom or school environment. Teachers must verify and sign the verification of authenticity on the student entry form.
Essays should include references to all research. Those references should be clearly identified within the text (i.e. parenthetical documentation, end notes or foot notes are accepted), and essays should also include a separate bibliography/works cited page.
