A winner for the 2021 Sugar Spun Run Scholarship has been selected and notified. Thank you to everyone who applied, we received an overwhelming response and many exceptional essays. At this time we are closed to applications and deciding whether or not to continue the scholarship for 2022.
Sugar Spun Run is proud to announce that we will be awarding a $500 scholarship to one high school senior or college student who authors a winning essay for the Annual Sugar Spun Scholarship.
As a college graduate myself, I’m all-too aware of the increasing cost of college tuition, housing, and textbooks! I’m very excited for this opportunity to give back and to help fund the cost of college tuition for one student each year!

The essay should be written in English and should not exceed 1,000 words. Students must be attending or accepted into a US college or university.
