With over 400 applications, it took our scholarship committee an extra long time to decide upon the winners for our 2008 Ottilie Markholt Memorial Scholarship Contest. There were some tremendous essays and applications and we wish we had a few thousand more dollars to award more. We decided to award one $1,000 winner and eight $250 scholarships to eight runner-ups in the essay category. In our service category, there were two winners of our $500 scholarship that clearly stood out among the applications We will soon be posting the winning essays and information about the winners, but here they are:
Greetings to our visitors and volunteers!
America In Solidarity is a grassroots campaign to educate voters on working family issues and to help elect politicians who care about America’s working families. We are a non-profit, non-partisan group that has had enough of politics as usual. Over the past five years, we have given thousands of volunteer hours to help elect politicians who have signed our pledge to protect working families, produced several community events to educate the public on the issues, and signed up hundreds of new voters. Together, we can make a difference and take back our country from the excessive greed of our corporate foes and the politicians who pander to them.
