- Submit a typed, approximately 500 word essay responding to both of the following questions: "Why did you choose your career path and what have you done to support it?

- Participate in an interview, if selected as a finalist
The submissions must be post marked by Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010. Finalists will be interviewed through October and November and winners will be announced in December. The funds will be dispersed to the winners’ colleges or universities to be applied toward the winter term in 2011.
