    Scholarship

    As of January 1st, 2021 I am accepting applications for the 2021 Sugar Spun Run Scholarship.

    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!

    Requirements
    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.
    Please save and send electronic submissions in Word or PDF format (PDF preferred).  You must submit an original essay.
    Students may apply one time each year.  The winner will be required to provide proof of enrollment before the scholarship will be awarded.
    Applicants must agree to Sugar Spun Run’s Official Scholarship Rules and must follow all instructions to be considered.

    Judging Criteria
    Essays will be judged primarily on originality and creativity and secondarily on style, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

    Essay Prompt
    Applicants must write an essay based on the following prompt:

    • A life lesson learned through food

    Deadline & Submission
    All submissions must be received by 11:59 pm EST, August 1st, 2021.
    The application may be submitted via mail or email.  Emailed applications must include “Scholarship Application” in the subject line and must be sent to [email protected]

    Mailed applications should be sent to:

    Sugar Spun Run
    3100 Westminster St
    P.O. Box 638
    Manchester, MD 21102

    Both e-mailed applications and mailed applications must include the following above the essay:

    • Your full name
    • Your email address
    • Phone number
    • Mailing address
    • The school that you are attending or intend to attend

    The winner will be announced on or around August 30th , 2021, and will be notified by e-mail.
    Winners will be featured on the Sugar Spun Run scholarship page.

    Please contact [email protected] with any further questions regarding this scholarship.
