One amazing video essay will be chosen as the winner and the student will be awarded $500 for college.

To apply for the EK Insurance Scholarship: Pick Your Topic - Choose from one of the three topics below to record about:

Video Essay Topics

1) Daycare / Childcare Insurance - If I run an in-home or commercial daycare, why do I need business insurance and what coverages should I have to protect myself?

3) Earthquake Insurance - Standard homeowners insurance and commercial property insurance do not pay for any damage from earthquakes. Even though earthquakes present a serious threat in several states, many people and business do not buy this insurance coverage - why should they?

SEND US YOUR VIDEO ESSAY: When you complete your video, attach it to your entry using the web form below. Video essays will be judged by our staff.

WIN THE PRIZE: If your video essay is judged the best by our panel, you'll receive a $500 EK Insurance Scholarship to help with your college tuition.
