A month ago
we were delighted to begin calling for entries in the Register’s first-ever
scholarship contest. We announced the start of the competition — made possible
by the generosity of an education-minded donor — in our Sept. 27 issue. Since
then we’ve run a reminder on this page and have had a continuously running
banner on NCRegister.com.
Time
flies when you’re reading (and writing) essays. The deadline for entries is now
just one week away, on Nov. 1.
We’ll
be awarding a total of $2,250 to the three high-school students and/or college
undergrads who write the best essay under the title “Catholic Is Cooler Than
Secular.”
The
winner will receive $1,000 to apply to his or her tuition. First runner-up gets
$750, and $500 will go to the second runner-up.
If
you or a student you know has been procrastinating, take heart. There’s still
time. Just go to NCRegister.com and click on the “Scholarship Contest” banner.
There you’ll find the complete (and simple) rules.
