FMAA – Flag Manufacturers Association of America offers a scholarship
A few notes from the Website…(subject to changes)
Traditionally, the American flag has been a symbol of patriotism, freedom, and democracy. Your video should answer the question:
“What does the United States flag mean to you as a young American today?”
Videos will be judged on content, original thought, visual imagery, and patriotic expression. You do not need to recapture the history of the United States. Your thoughts must pertain to life in the current day.
The video should run between 1.5 and two minutes in length
Criteria:
Restrictions
Entries are due by May 30, 2018.
A decision will be made by July 4, 2018, and the winner(s) will initially be notified via email.
In 2018 the Taco Bell Live Mas Scholarship will reward $3,000,000! The scholarship’s Website says:
“THE SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE INNOVATORS, CREATORS AND DREAMERS
That’s right! The Live Más Scholarship is not based on your grades or how well you play sports. No essays, no test scores, no right or wrong answers. We’re looking for the next generation of innovators, creators and dreamers.
In 2018, the Taco Bell Foundation will be awarding $3 million in Live Más Scholarships. $1 million will be awarded through our new applicant program, $1.5 million through our renewal program for previous recipients, and $500,000 through our program for Taco Bell restaurant employees.”
Here is a video of a 2017 winner –
“An act of kindness has reaped a huge reward for one Texas teen.
Evoni Williams, who works in a La Marque, Texas, Waffle House to save money for college, was photographed by a diner as she helped a 78-year-old man cut his food into small, chewable pieces during her shift.” Source: Yahoo
Someone posted a photo of her kindness and then the city, Texas Southern University and others recognized her.
What a great story!
YOURS is a great story, too. Good luck to you! Never give up!
Congrats, Evonni “Nini” Williams!
