The Dedman Distinguished Scholars Program
The Dedman Distinguished Scholars Program at The University of Texas at Austin is excited to share their fifth annual Dedman Essay Competition for 2024.
They are offering five scholarships to high school sophomores and juniors in the amount of $1,500, $1,000, $500, and two $250 awards. The scholarship has no prerequisites regarding ethnicity, economic background, or extracurricular activities and there is no fee to participate.
The contest requires applicants to submit a 750-800 word essay at our website dedmanessay.com on the following prompt:
Consider a scenario where an individual’s humility, or rather their excessive display of it, resulted in a missed opportunity or setback in their personal or professional life. How does this situation challenge the conventional praise of humility as an unquestioned virtue? What insights can we gain about the complex role of humility in achieving success and promoting ourselves?
Additionally, this year they will host two writing workshops to help students write and revise their essays before submission. These workshops will be held over Zoom. More information about the workshops, including dates and times, will be posted on the website shortly.
The competition has opened, and the deadline for submission is April 30 at 11:59 PM
