The High School Senior Scholarship Contest is open to 2021-2022 high school seniors who wish to pursue a college degree or technical education. Ten winners will be randomly chosen, and each winner will receive a $2,000 prize that will be paid directly to the accredited educational institution of the winner’s choice, to be used for tuition and/or books for the fall 2022 semester. To enter, high school seniors can visit www.afsascholarship.org/high-school-contest where they will read an educational essay with information about fire sprinklers. After reading, the student will then be asked to take an eight-question, multiple-choice reading comprehension test. For each question answered correctly, students will receive one entry into a drawing for one of the 10 $2,000 scholarships. A total of eight entries into the drawing are possible.
The 2021-2022 high school contest is currently open online and will run through 12:00 a.m. Central Time on April 1, 2022.
