Scholarship Description
High school students in grades 9-12 (open to public, private, parochial, and home school) nationwide write letters to themselves, family, teachers, mentors, peers, bullies, future children, etc., on the subject of race, ethnicity, and identity. The letters allow people to put their thoughts and feelings into words that might typically be tough to express. They can also share words of gratitude, hope, and their personal journey and learning that they’d like to share. You can write a letter, but you can express your feelings through lots of things like a letter or a spoken word poem. The objective is to use your own words and voice in expressing your thoughts and feelings about your identity.ADVERTISEMENT
