$1000 Writing Scholarship awarded by Sacramento Suburban Writers Club

The 2025 Scholarship for high school seniors.

Details https://www.sactowriters.org/2025-scholarship/

To enter the contest, students must submit an essay of 500 words or fewer describing their thoughts about the following excerpt from the late Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas’s opinion in the 1972 case of Adams v. Williams:

A powerful lobby dins into the ears of our citizenry that these gun purchases are constitutional rights protected by the Second Amendment, which reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

There is under our decisions no reason why stiff state laws governing the purchase and possession of pistols may not be enacted….There is no reason why all pistols should not be barred to everyone except the police.

We’ll be awarding at least $15,000 in scholarships distributed among 12 contest winners again this year, with a maximum award of $3,000, a minimum award of $250, and with the option of giving additional $100 awards, as we’ve done in most past years, if we receive more than 12 outstanding essays. Full contest details and the online entry form are posted on the High School Essay Contest page of the Americans Against Gun Violence website. The deadline for students to enter the contest is Saturday, April 19.
