CiRCE Co-Sponsors National
High School Essay Contest:

George Washington and the Formation of the American Character

PLEASE NOTE: Deadline to register is November 28, 2008

Alongside the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) and the George Washington Society, CiRCE is proud to invite all high school students to participate in an exciting opportunity to explore the life and person of George Washington - and earn a scholarship!

1st Place Scholarship is $1,000

2nd Place Scholarship is $500

3rd Place Scholarship is $250

Students participating in this essay contest are asked to consider at least two central elements of Washington’s public or private life that found expression in American identity. Essayists are encouraged to consider how those characteristics have been weakened or strengthened over the past two centuries and what this suggests about the American character.

For more information please go to the ISI website.

"I believe, or at least I hope, that there is public virtue enough left among us, to deny ourselves everything but the bare necessaries of life, to accomplish our end."

- George Washington
