Travel is Education Scholarship

Encore and ACIS are pleased to introduce an annual Travel is Education Scholarship. This competition offers students the chance to be rewarded for their creative expression and interest in the world. We offer travel scholarships toward any Encore program, broken into three categories: artwork, photography and writing*.

 

 

Scholarship Theme

The theme of the 2012 scholarship is Travel Changes Lives. Entries for the artwork, photography and writing categories are judged on creativity and inventiveness in expressing an idea related to this theme.

Scholarships & Deadlines

The postmark deadline for submission is January 31, 2012. Winners will be sent written notification along with their Travel Scholarship Certificates. Prizes for each of the three award categories* are as follows:

• One High School Grand Prize: $1,000 ACIS/Encore Travel Scholarship Certificate
• One High School Runner-Up Prize: $500 ACIS/Encore Travel Scholarship Certificate
• One Middle School Grand Prize: $1,000 ACIS/Encore Travel Scholarship Certificate
• One Middle School Runner-Up Prize: $500 ACIS/Encore Travel Scholarship Certificate

All teachers sponsoring a winner or runner-up will be rewarded a special $250 Travel Scholarship Certificate that they may give to a deserving student of their choice.

* Middle School students are offered two categories to participate in: writing or artwork/photography.
