The Royal Bank of Canada is accepting submissions for its 2018 RBC Black History Month Student Essay Competition.
The contest is open to Grade 12 students who are applying to post-secondary schools for the 2018-19 academic year.
Students are being asked to share their thoughts on how black Canadians have helped to define the country’s diverse heritage and identity through their achievements and contributions to society.
Celebrating the past, present and future contributions of black Canadians, the competition, now in its ninth year, has grown from a grassroots endeavor to a national scholarship competition.
Essays should be 750 words or less and must be submitted by Dec. 1.
There are 30 available scholarships including three top prizes — of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,500.
The competition will be judged by a jury of members from across Canada. The winners will be announced Feb. 9, 2018, during Black History Month.
