The Secular Scholarship Fund is dedicated to providing prizes to students who express our Core Values — secular rights, science, civic engagement, social justice, and freedom of speech and thought — through the power of writing and video creation.

Each year, we hold a variety of scholarship opportunities (each with different eligibility requirements) related to that year's theme.

This year, we held four contests:

$2,500+ Nickelson Family Essay Contest
$1,500 Video PSA Contest
$1,000 Speech Contest
$750 Art Contest (two winners)
$100 Poetry Contest (ten winners)

You can help contribute to next year's scholarship "pot" with a donation today and make a lasting impact on the students whose work is chosen by our judges.
