Essay contest

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute runs a program called the Culture of Enterprise (COE) Initiative, an interdisciplinary educational and publishing effort designed to promote scholarship in humane economics.

I encourage undergraduate students to participate in an important facet of this initiative - an essay contest that asks students to answer this question, "Can Character and Community Survive in an Age of Globalization?"

Beyond the contest's obvious academic merits, it also offers some of the more lucrative prizes in the arena:

1st Place: $10,000; 2nd Place $5,000; 3rd Place $2000; 4th Place $1,500; 5th Place $1,000.

Interested students to go to this link where they can learn more about the contest and review past winning essays, as well as download the application form that contains the details of the assignment.

The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2009.
