National Conscience Month Essay
Scholarship Sponsored by National Conscience Month
January 2027 will mark the 8th Annual observance of National Conscience Month. Throughout the month Americans from all walks of life will be imagining new ways to celebrate the benefits of using their Conscience to guide their thoughts, words and deeds.
Here’s a special opportunity for high school seniors across the nation! You’re now invited to participate in a unique and creative way––by writing a short essay about using the Conscience. Think of a real situation in your life––or create an imaginary scenario––in which you allowed (or chose not to allow) your Conscience to guide your thoughts, words and actions. What were the results? Were there benefits? Or unexpected consequences? What did you learn from this experience?
One talented student will receive a $2,795 scholarship ($2,000 scholarship for higher education and $795 scholarship for The Foundation Course for Life), awarded for an original essay of 1,000 words or less.
Submissions must be received no later than the February due date. Entries will be reviewed by the American Meditation Institute’s National Conscience Month committee members and the contest winner will be notified by email. Submissions may be featured by the American Meditation Institute either online or in print in connection with National Conscience Month programming and promotions, and the right to reproduce submissions is reserved by The American Meditation Institute and its sponsors.
Let your conscience be your guide in thought, word and deed!
