Child Custody Analysis Scholarship
$1,000
Introduction
Child custody disputes can be deeply upsetting for the children involved and are often the focus of intense legal and personal debate. These situations can have significant long-term consequences — positive or negative — for a child’s wellbeing. Some argue that adults should make custody decisions because they are responsible for protecting the child’s best interests. Others contend that when children are mature enough, their perspectives (especially when their own circumstances are part of why custody is contested) should carry weight in the outcome. To encourage thoughtful discussion on this issue, we are awarding two $1,000 scholarships for essays...

Public by Default Scholarship
$1,000
Introduction
Many documents related to arrests and court proceedings are accessible to the public well before any verdict is reached. While openness in government is vital, public availability of arrest records and law-enforcement files can create serious concerns about privacy, fairness, and long-term consequences for individuals—particularly those later exonerated. Applicants are encouraged to consider the social, professional, and emotional effects of publicly available criminal records and to suggest reforms that strike a fair balance between transparency and protection.
Eligibility
- Open to legal U.S. residents who live in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and who...
