College scholarship essay contest
Students can compete for $5,000 in Junior Achievement and Deloitte’s “Excellence through Ethics” essay contest.
High school seniors are asked to apply their knowledge of ethical decision-making and share their views on the importance of ethics in business.
To enter, students compose an original essay of 500 words or less in response to an ethical dilemma posted on Junior Achievement’s Web site, www.ja.org. Entries must be submitted online and will be accepted through Jan. 2.
This year, the scenario is set at a city golf tournament. Will a prominent local doctor take responsibility for an unreported rule infringement — or will his caddy, who wants the doctor’s help getting into the college of his dreams, report the incident? The student essayist must decide what he or she would do in the same circumstance.
See www.ja.org/ethics for information.
Junior Achievement is an organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy.
