The 2020 PSR/Sacramento High School Scholarship Contest is now open to High School Seniors in Sacramento and Surrounding Counties. A total of $15,000 will be awarded. The prompt for this year’s contest is the following quotation by the Guatemalan civil rights activist and 1992 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Rigoberta Menchu Tum:
“Peace is not only the absence of war. As long as there is poverty, racism, discrimination and exclusion, we’ll be hard-pressed to achieve a world of peace.”
For full contest details and the online entry form, please go to the Scholarship Essay Contest Page of this website. Links to the essays of past contest winners are also posted on this page. Note: The deadline for students to enter the 2020 contest is Saturday, March 21.
