Schulz Memorial Essay Contest for College-Bound High School Seniors is open to all high school seniors who graduate in spring 2024, and will be attending a North American college or university in fall 2024. If the applicant took a "gap year," they must fill out question 9. If the applicant fits this profile and if they are Black, Indigenous or a Person of Color, they may enter this contest. Winners may be asked to send verification of student enrollment. Students will be disqualified if they do not follow instructions, including word limit and deadline.
