"2017 High School Scholarship Essay Contest”  (1 hour, 23 minutes)

On April 30, 2017, Sacramento area high school students read and defended their

essays in response to this quotation from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt:

education."

The 10 finalists presented their essays at the contest finals dinner that was

attended by more than 200 people.  The finalists answered questions about

their essays from a distinguished panel of judges from the community, who then

choose the First Place ($3,000 scholarship), Second Place ($2,500 scholarship),

and Third Place ($2,000 scholarship) winners.  Each of the other finalists

received a $1,000 scholarship.
