Arkady Bukh Annual Scholarship (Deadline: January 15, 2016)

October 18, 2015 By The FinancialAidFinder Scholarship Team

Who Can Apply: Eligibility for participation requires that applicants be planning on attending an American college or university in the upcoming semester.

Submission: To apply, applicants must submit a 500-word essay on this subject.

America was built on a foundation of social justice.  It is a tradition that shows no indication of decline.

Frequently, activists are scooped up by law enforcement, tried and held for years — sometimes decades — and their name slowly slips from public memory. Think of:

  • Barret Brown
  • Leonard Peltier
  • Sister Megan Rice

Often, activists who have helped alter the social justice landscape were incarcerated before they went on to impact the nation.

These individuals include:

  • MLK
  • Emma Goldman
  • Henry David Thoreau

In writing your essay, you will identify an individual who is currently imprisoned for their activism because they wanted to make the world a better place.

The person you choose must have a history of activism prior to incarceration. Your essay may include the activist’ chosen cause, to give their story context, but the substance should be about the activist: their background, their cause, why they got incarcerated, etc.

Deadline: January 15, 2016

Amount: $1,000
