ASK LLP is offering a $2,500 scholarship to college students who submit an essay that describes how civil rights are affected when a legal authority gets involved.

You can write your essay however you want. Feel free to include historical or cultural examples, court cases, and your own personal experiences. Please follow these basic guidelines for submission:

• Keep your essay to a minimum length of 500 words and no more than 1,000.
• Write free of any glaring grammatical or spelling errors.
• Stay on topic. Do not deviate from the main point of the essay.
• There are no minimum or maximum number of sources you can use. Sources should be cited when possible.

Your essay should reflect your passion and understanding of civil rights in the U.S. Our selection committee is looking for essays that are more than just a simple retelling of civil rights history and facts. We are looking forward to reading all of the essays submitted.
