Please ensure that your submission addresses the correct prompt from the ECOC website (educatingchildrenofcolor.org) and is submitted in an acceptable format. Any essay must be double-spaced, use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman) and use a 12 pt. font. If you are applying for multiple scholarships, you must fill out the form for each scholarship (i.e. if you are applying for two scholarships, you should fill out this form twice). Each submission MUST be tailored to each scholarship (i.e. submission should NOT be the same exact submission for different scholarships, since the prompts are different for each scholarship).
