What’s your child’s passion? Whether it’s drawing, basketball, music, or video game design, if they are in grades 2-8, they are eligible for the third annual Michael Perelstein Memorial Scholarship Fund’s Discover Your Passion Competition!
The contest, administered by the School Choice Group, a global education consulting firm based in White Plains, NY, in partnership with Parents of Accelerated Learners, NYC [PALNYC], encourages parents, students, teachers, coaches, and schools to celebrate kids’ exemplary creativity, intellectual pursuits, and talent, and allows New York City-based students to explore their skills and interests. The $20,000 scholarship fund will be awarded to children who show exceptional promise in academic fields, sports, music, the arts, social entrepreneurship, technology or other disciplines. Applications will be accepted through September 16, 2015. Previous applicants who did not receive an award are welcome to apply.
The Grand Prize Winner receives $5000 toward the pursuit of his or her choice; 3 Second Place Winners receive $3500, and 3 Third Place Winners receive $1500, for a total of $20,000. Support may be provided for any activities identified by the student, from travel, to online courses, to attendance at relevant programs, to equipment. Finalists will be selected from the two categories: Grades 2-5 and 6-8. The scholarship winners will be announced and awarded their prizes in October in New York City.
