Name: Skilled Labor Shortage Scholarship
Award: Six $2,500 Awards Deadline: March 31, 2020
Begin by reading the prompt and selecting a topic from below. Then, write your own 1,000 to 2,000-word essay. Essays
will be evaluated for their creativity and originality, relevance to the topic, and overall quality.
Prompt: Imagine a world — just 30 short years from now — in which no one knows how to build a house or fix a leaky
toilet. America is facing a problem that could make that kind of situation a reality: High school and college students
have stopped pursuing careers in important skilled labor trades like plumbing, carpentry, and heating and cooling. As a
result, there is a shortage of younger workers with the knowledge and skills necessary to take the place of older, retiring
workers. This means that there may soon be few people who know how to perform the work that keeps our homes and
businesses in good working order!
Pick your topic: 1. How would you encourage your peers or others to pursue a career in construction or maintenance?
2. What do you think trade professionals or organizations could do to engage, train, and hire young talent in the
trades?
3. What would you say to persuade parents, teachers, or others to educate young people about these job
opportunities?
Who is eligible: Eligible students are planning to attend a community college, technical institute, or university during the 2020-2021
academic year to study anything from construction management, plumbing or carpentry to landscape architecture or
interior design. There is no minimum SAT, ACT or GPA. You must be 18 or older and a U.S. resident.

November 30, 2020
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurring out of hospital claims over 326,000 lives each year, but still, many people are
unaware of the dangers of this condition. Here are six other facts about SCA and automated external defibrillators
(AEDs) you might not be aware of:
1. SCA can happen to anyone, at any time, regardless of age, race, or gender.
2. SCA affects roughly 16 people under the age of 18 every day.
3. Only 1 out of 10 people who have SCA outside of a hospital survive.
4. The survival rate for SCA victims decays by 10% for every minute without proper
defibrillation; after 10 minutes, survival is negligible.
5. AEDs have voice prompts and will talk the rescuer through every step.
6. Under Good Samaritan Laws, voluntary rescuers are legally protected when aiding those in sudden cardiac arrest
distress.
Select one of these six facts you were previously unaware of (and maybe shocked you!) or you wished more people
knew about (if you already knew about all of these facts) and submit either a short essay or video which answers the
following prompt:
For your chosen fact, address each of the following points: Tell us which fact you’re choosing, starting with “I didn’t know that…” or “I wish more people knew…”
Recount your reaction to learning the fact
Give us an example of how you might spread awareness at your school or in your community (and please be
more creative than making posters)
