Platt Family Scholarship Prize Essay Contest

Platt Family Scholarship Prize Essay Contest:

Topic for 2013 – "Lincoln and Gettysburg: Expectations, Reactions, Consecrations"

2013 is the 150th anniversary of both the Battle of Gettysburg, and of Lincoln's most famous speech there. Why do these events resonate so much with Americans today? What was it about either the battle or the speech that made them timeless?

The scholarship essay contest is designed for students who are FULL TIME, undergraduate students in an AMERICAN COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY during the Spring 2013 semester. The July 31 deadline is designed to give these students time to finish their essays, if need be, after final exams.

1st Prize $1500 | 2nd Prize $750 | 3rd Prize $500
