Applicants must write an essay of no more than 500 words answering the question, “How has the slowed economy personal affected you, either financially or emotionally?”
Award: $500 – $5,000
Awards per Year: 10

The Tea Council of the USA

Scholarship Name: Calm-a-Sutra of Tea
Description: The Tea Council of the USA is sponsoring one of my all-time favorite scholarships again this year: The Calm-a-Sutra of Tea competition. Here’s the deal.

Popularity will also be judged, based on the number of hits each entry receives on YouTube.
