NPG’s Scholarship Fund

Each year, NPG offers a written scholarship contest to students across the country. High school seniors – as well as currently enrolled college undergraduates – are presented with a population-related writing challenge, using their own experience and insight to guide their ideas for a solution. Each winner receives a scholarship, paid towards undergraduate tuition at the accredited college or university he/she attends. From nearly 900 submissions for our 2022 NPG Essay Scholarship Contest NPG will select sixteen winners to receive scholarships ranging from $5,000 to $1,000.
