AFA Teens for Alzheimer’s Awareness College Scholarship 2012-2013
Award Amount
$5,000 Deadline Date
Feb 15 Awards Available
1
Scholarship Description
As more and more families across America are affected by Alzheimer’s disease, many teenagers as well are becoming aware of this heartbreaking brain disease—from personal experiences in their own families, watching friends and neighbors, or involvement in community service.
In an effort to provide an outlet for teenagers to express their thoughts about Alzheimer’s disease and to engage the younger generation in this important cause, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is pleased to offer the AFA Teens for Alzheimer’s Awareness College Scholarship—an annual $5,000 scholarship to one deserving college-bound student.
The scholarship will be awarded to one student per year. The deadline for applications is February 15 of each year.
This scholarship provides an excellent opportunity for high school juniors and seniors (entering an accredited college or university within 12 months of the application deadline) to give thoughtful consideration to the impact Alzheimer’s disease has on their own lives and others in their family and community.
An independent committee selected by AFA will judge all timely submissions. Author identity will remain anonymous during the judging.
AFA will award the grand prize winner a $5,000 scholarship to be used toward the first year of the student’s college education.
AFA will notify the grand prize winner, along with a first and second runner-up, on April 1st. AFA will provide the scholarship payment upon receipt of official documentation of registration from the college/university that the student is attending in the following fall or spring (for example, a letter with proof of first semester’s payment from the registrar’s office). Should the scholarship winner fail to attend college within the stated time period, the scholarship will be given to the first runner-up.
AFA will post the grand prize winning essay on www.afateens.org to help inspire others. The two runners-up will receive a certificate of appreciation and their essays also will be posted on the AFA Teens Web site. AFA may publish the winning/runner-up essays in other media or utilize them for other publicity and informational purposes.
The mission of AFA Teens is to:
• Raise awareness among teenagers and the general public about Alzheimer’s disease
• Provide education, counseling and support to young family members
• Enable teens to share feelings and experiences with other teens and experts
• Refer teens and their family members to community programs and support services
• Help support the mission and objectives of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing optimal care to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and their families.

Description
"I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
—Anne Frank
The National WWII Museum asks...Is Anne Frank Right?
The National WWII Museum invites you to tell us, in your own words, if you agree with Anne Frank’s belief that "people are really good at heart". Read her diary to get a fuller understanding of her views, which were often contradictory, but always heartfelt. Use WWII and the Holocaust as a starting point and base you answer in part on examples you find in this history. This is NOT a research paper about Anne Frank or WWII. Your essay will be judged for originality, clarity of expression, adherence to contest theme, historical accuracy, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The best essays will include specific examples from WWII and specific examples from today. You may use examples from your own experiences, as Anne so often did. Museum education staff will judge entries.
Rules:
• Contest is open to all high school students in the United States and United States Territories.
• Your essay must be 1,000 words or less. Only one essay per student may be submitted.
• Submissions must be submitted to The National WWII Museum by March 30th, 5:00pm CST.
• Winners will be notified and announced on May 2nd.
• Museum will accept the first 500 valid entries only. The website will indicate when 500 essays have been submitted. Further submissions will not be accepted.
• All entries become property of The National WWII Museum and may be reproduced, in whole or part, by the Museum in printed or electronic form. Proper attribution will be made.

The National WWII Museum invites you to tell us, in your own words, if you agree with Anne Frank’s belief that "people are really good at heart". Read her diary to get a fuller understanding of her views, which were often contradictory, but always heartfelt. Use WWII and the Holocaust as a starting point and base you answer in part on examples you find in this history. This is NOT a research paper about Anne Frank or WWII. Your essay will be judged for originality, clarity of expression, adherence to contest theme, historical accuracy, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The best essays will include specific examples from WWII and specific examples from today. You may use examples from your own experiences, as Anne so often did. Museum education staff will judge entries.
Rules:
• Contest is open to all high school students in the United States and United States Territories.
• Your essay must be 1,000 words or less. Only one essay per student may be submitted.
• Submissions must be submitted to The National WWII Museum by March 30th, 5:00pm CST.
• Winners will be notified and announced on May 2nd.
• Museum will accept the first 500 valid entries only. The website will indicate when 500 essays have been submitted. Further submissions will not be accepted.
• All entries become property of The National WWII Museum and may be reproduced, in whole or part, by the Museum in printed or electronic form. Proper attribution will be made.
