NBC 6 is sponsoring a Homeroom Reformers Student Essay Contest through their NBC News Education Nation Initiative. Education Nation seeks to engage the public, through thoughtful dialogue, in pursuit of the shared goal of providing every American with an opportunity to pursue the best education in the world.
At the classroom level, senior high school students living in South Florida will have the opportunity to submit innovative, creative and compelling ideas to address education reform in their schools. The goal is to encourage and nurture an emerging generation of leaders and innovators to make a meaningful difference in our local schools.
The contest will reward one high school student from the tri-county community (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties) with a $5,000 grant to fund a local education program of their choice in the public high school they are attending. The contest period runs from September 26, 2010 through November 14, 2010, with announcement of the winner scheduled for December 15, 2010.
