"Wise Words" Scholarship
“The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.” — Issac D’Israeli
Everyone has a mantra that they swear by. Whether we repeat it during the highest or lowest points of our lives, we all have a phrase that never fails to resonate with us. Quotes can be such a great source of inspiration and guidance when we need some extra encouragement.
The “Wise Words” Scholarship is designed to give students time to reflect on a quote that has influenced their lives in a positive manner. Any written or spoken phrase which carries a special meaning for you may be submitted. Students of any education level are eligible for this scholarship.
To apply, write a short essay describing what this quote means to you and why this quote is special.
What quote means a lot to you? Write a short essay about it, describing what it means to you and why this quote is special.
