NPG, a national membership organization devoted to population issues, invites students to compete in our annual Essay Scholarship Contest.
President Donald Trump and the more than 50 new Members of the 115th Congress should learn about the critical issue of U.S. population size and growth. Students are requested to provide NPG with a three- to five-point plan to educate these freshmen legislators about the sources of U.S. population growth, as well as policy suggestions to slow, halt, and eventually reverse our growth in order to preserve America's environment, economy, natural resources, and quality of life. Submissions must be between 500 and 750 words.
The NPG Scholarship Committee will select multiple winning essays. Essays will be judged based on the quality of writing, originality, relevance to topic, and evidence of critical thinking. All decisions are within the discretion of NPG Scholarship judges and all decisions are final. All scholarships will be paid directly to the accredited college or university account of the winning student(s). Official Contest information is available on our website (www.NPG.org).
