Students could win trip and $25,000 scholarship
Baytown’s VFW Post 912
announced the start of this year’s
Veterans of Foreign Wars and its
Ladies Auxiliary “Voice of
Democracy 'Scholarship Contest.”
Area students have the opportunity
to compete in the 54th annual audio
essay contest and win scholarships
and awards.
Deadline to enter is Nov. 1. Entry
forms and contest rules are avail-
able at all area high schools.
Richard Guynes, this year’s essay
contest chairman, said die students
achieve much more when they par-
ticipate in the “Voice of Democra-
cy” competition.
Additional benefits for students
include: increased self-confidence
and poise, experience in polishing
communication skills, and the
opportunity for self-expression.
Students who advance to become
their state’s first-place winner are
given the opportunity to expand
their knowledge of our nation’s cap-
ital city during a full four-day tour
of Washington, DC, plus the chance
to meet and befriend students from
every state.
During the many years that the
Veterans of Foreign Wars and its
Ladies Auxiliary have been
involved with Voice of Democracy,
more than 7 million high school
students have participated.
Interested students need only
write and then record a 3- to 5-
minute audio/essay while express-
ing their view of the patriotic theme
“What Price Freedom?”
All state winners receive at least
a $1,000 scholarship, and could win
the $25,000 first-place award. A
total of $139,500 in National
Scholarships are awarded to student
national finalists.
