Since the contest began in 2006, we have received more than 2,900 submissions and handed out over $135,000 in prize money.
What you write about is up to you. Over the years we have received essays about the cancer diagnosis of family members, teachers, and friends, as well as essays about cancer in the abstract. We have received stories of triumph and stories of great loss, stories written in times of turbulence and stories written in times of quiet reflection. Every story has been honest and heartfelt, and each one is unique.
The contest was created to serve high school students living in Washington State. This year we created a contest to students throughout the U.S. The essay requirements are the same, but the deadline and prize amount are different.

Admitted College Bound-eligible freshmen who submit their FAFSAs to Whitworth and have a 3.5 cumulative, weighted high school GPA, or, if home-schooled, have a 1220 SAT/25 ACT superscore, or 80 on the Classical Learning Test (CLT), will automatically receive the Whitworth Bound Scholarship. Likewise, admitted College Bound-eligible transfers who submit their FAFSAs to Whitworth and have a 3.25 cumulative college GPA will automatically receive the Whitworth Bound Scholarship, which can be renewed as long as the student maintains College Bound Scholarship eligibility and meets satisfactory academic-progress requirements. Students have eight semesters of eligibility in the College Bound Program. The Whitworth Bound Scholarship is only awarded to students with College Bound eligibility and is only available in the fall and spring semesters. Students can choose to use College Bound Scholarship funds during the summer, but this would count toward their eight semesters of eligibility. Eligibility for the Whitworth Bound Scholarship ends once a student has received his or her full eight semesters of the College Bound Scholarship. To be considered automatically, just apply for admission to Whitworth University and submit your FAFSA.

WHITMAN COLLEGE - PAUL GARRETT & CLAIRE SHERWOOD SCHOLARS - See Financial Aid
The Paul Garrett Scholarships for men and the Claire Sherwood Memorial Scholarships for women are awarded by Whitman to exceptional applicants who exhibit outstanding academic achievement, leadership and contributions to their schools and communities. Each year about six men and six women are named Garrett and Sherwood scholars.
While at Whitman, Garrett and Sherwood Scholars meet regularly on campus throughout the school year for socials, networking receptions, roundtable discussions, national grant and fellowship information sessions, and other events. In addition, over spring break of junior year, Garrett and Sherwood Scholars travel to New York City for a career exploration and networking trip. There, they have a chance to meet local alumni who are leaders in finance, business, media, culture and government and can assist the Scholars in making contacts in their potential career fields.
Selection Process and Award Amounts
Each year, up to 30 finalists are chosen by the admission committee and are brought to Whitman for an all-expenses-paid campus visit. During their visit, finalists sit for an interview with either the Garrett or Sherwood selection committees. These committees are comprised of governing board members, alumni, and faculty who have reviewed finalists' admission applications.
All finalists who interview for the scholarship receive a minimum of $2,500. Students selected as Garrett or Sherwood Scholars receive scholarships which cover 100% of their demonstrated need—up to $60,000 per year—without any work or debt obligations.

What kinds of careers can you choose with a scholarship?
First of all, congratulations on looking into scholarships for trade schools and career colleges. We help students all over the country connect with the right vocational and technical colleges that focus on career skills. If you already have your mind (and heart) set on becoming independent and able to take care of yourself after high school, now's the time to take advantage of training opportunities that align with your goals.
Every student has their own dreams, but there are several growing fields that allow students to earn a living and enjoy their jobs. Here are a few promising areas of career training you may want to consider:
Health care and medical. This career path offers many entry-level careers for students. Whether you want to become a medical assistant and then work your way into nursing, or pursue other paths such as billing and coding or dental assisting, you have options.
Mechanical sciences. Like to work with your hands? Consider auto mechanics or working in renewable energy. The need for wind turbine technicians across the United States is growing dramatically. This type of career can be great for students who have the ability to travel. Working as an auto mechanic can also give you skills that are needed everywhere people have cars, which is pretty much everywhere!
Business and arts. The worlds of business and arts are not going away any time soon — or probably ever. High school students seeking scholarships to career and technical colleges can also take business- and arts-focused programs. If you are business-minded, consider an associate, diploma or certificate program in accounting, administrative skills or another business-related area. This will help get your foot in the door for entry-level jobs while you plan your next steps up.
Students with artistic talent also have a place in many areas of today's workforce. Whether you want to work in graphic design, marketing, film and television, or another industry, our scholarships for career college students may be able to help you, too!
Ready to plan your first "adult" steps?

Not only can we guide you through the scholarship process, but we can also help you understand the financial aid process andhow to survive in school.

This is a program conducted by Founder Region. As a volunteer service organization, Soroptimist believes that by acknowledging young women's volunteer involvement now, they will grow up to be vital active members of the community. The Violet Richardson Award honors young women between the ages of 14 and 18 for volunteer action such as fighting drugs, crime and violence, cleaning up the environment and working to end discrimination and poverty.
The award is named after Violet Richardson, the president of the first Soroptimist club in Alameda County in 1921. Richardson believed in personal responsibility and the motto, “It's what you do that counts.” She lived her life accordingly, as an active member in her community who was committed to creating opportunities for girls and young women. Soroptimist established this award to honor the memory of this unique woman and her dedication to volunteer action.
The Violet Richardson Award program begins at the local Soroptimist club level, where the type of award varies from a certificate and recognition at a club meeting or special event, to a monetary gift to the young woman and/or her charity. Applications to clubs should be received by November 15 of each year. Clubs should submit their winning applicant's application, media consent form and transmittal form to their district representative by February 1 of each year. Each district will have one Violet Richardson Award winner and she will be recognized and receive her award at our annual conference.
District Representative contact information is available in the Founder Region roster. Please contact Region Kris Chorbi at kchorbi5@yahoo.com.

The Paul Garrett Scholarships for men and the Claire Sherwood Memorial Scholarships for women are awarded by Whitman to exceptional applicants who exhibit outstanding academic achievement, leadership and contributions to their schools and communities. Each year about six men and six women are named Garrett and Sherwood scholars.
While at Whitman, Garrett and Sherwood Scholars meet regularly on campus throughout the school year for socials, networking receptions, roundtable discussions, national grant and fellowship information sessions, and other events. In addition, over spring break of junior year, Garrett and Sherwood Scholars travel to New York City for a career exploration and networking trip. There, they have a chance to meet local alumni who are leaders in finance, business, media, culture and government and can assist the Scholars in making contacts in their potential career fields.
Each year, up to 30 finalists are chosen by the admission committee and are brought to Whitman for an all-expenses-paid campus visit. During their visit, finalists sit for an interview with either the Garrett or Sherwood selection committees. These committees are comprised of governing board members, alumni, and faculty who have reviewed finalists' admission applications.
All finalists who interview for the scholarship receive a minimum of $2,500. Students selected as Garrett or Sherwood Scholars receive scholarships which cover 100% of their demonstrated need—up to $60,000 per year—without any work or debt obligations. The finalists are brought to Whitman for a campus visit and interview. The award amount is determined by the Whitman Office of Financial Aid Services using data from the FAFSA.

Living a sustainable lifestyle requires dedication and passion.

Here at Good360, we work hard to help companies reduce their waste outputs and total carbon footprints by donating excess stock or products to nonprofits in need. For the Good360 team, living sustainably means that we do everything we can to limit waste production, protect valuable natural resources and improve the lives of those in need. A better, more sustainable future, to us, is one where we do more with less, and where we all work together to build stronger, and more efficient, communities.
We want to hear how sustainability has touched your life. If you’re a high school senior applying to college, or you’re currently a college student, and you have an interest in sustainability and the environment, then we’d love to hear your thoughts on what sustainability means to you. Thus, we’re sponsoring a college scholarship with an award of $1,000 to go towards tuition.
In order to be considered for the Good360 sustainability scholarship, we want to hear from you: What do you do to live sustainably? Post a photo on Instagram with your 200-300-word essay explaining what sustainability means to you and complete the form below.

What kinds of careers can you choose with a scholarship?
First of all, congratulations on looking into scholarships for trade schools and career colleges. We help students all over the country connect with the right vocational and technical colleges that focus on career skills. If you already have your mind (and heart) set on becoming independent and able to take care of yourself after high school, now's the time to take advantage of training opportunities that align with your goals.
Every student has their own dreams, but there are several growing fields that allow students to earn a living and enjoy their jobs. Here are a few promising areas of career training you may want to consider:
Health care and medical. This career path offers many entry-level careers for students. Whether you want to become a medical assistant and then work your way into nursing, or pursue other paths such as billing and coding or dental assisting, you have options.
Mechanical sciences. Like to work with your hands? Consider auto mechanics or working in renewable energy. The need for wind turbine technicians across the United States is growing dramatically. This type of career can be great for students who have the ability to travel. Working as an auto mechanic can also give you skills that are needed everywhere people have cars, which is pretty much everywhere!
Business and arts. The worlds of business and arts are not going away any time soon — or probably ever. High school students seeking scholarships to career and technical colleges can also take business- and arts-focused programs. If you are business-minded, consider an associate, diploma or certificate program in accounting, administrative skills or another business-related area. This will help get your foot in the door for entry-level jobs while you plan your next steps up.
Students with artistic talent also have a place in many areas of today's workforce. Whether you want to work in graphic design, marketing, film and television, or another industry, our scholarships for career college students may be able to help you, too!
Ready to plan your first "adult" steps?
You already know that life can be stressful. That's why we want to help make things a little bit easier for students who are getting ready for their first big life step: job training. Not only can we guide you through the scholarship process, but we can also help you understand the financial aid process and how to survive in school.
