The Michigan Remembers 9-11 Fund is pleased to announce its annual scholarship essay contest for high school juniors and seniors. This essay contest encourages students to research and express their reflections on how the 9/11 terrorist attacks affected them personally, their family members or friends, their communities, or the nation as a whole. Doing so is consistent with their mission, which is, in part, to ensure that future generations remember Sept. 11, 2001 and understand the range of impacts that it had and continues to have.
Essay submissions will be accepted through November 1st, and any high school junior or senior may participate. Prizes of $250, $150, and $100 are available to the top submissions. Details, along with submissions from past winners, can be viewed on our website.
