The winner of the student essay contest will receive $1,000 and an all expense paid trip to the Sixth Annual Community College Baccalaureate Association Conference in Reno-Tahoe, Nevada from March 13-15, 2009.
Naples, FL, September 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Community College Baccalaureate Association (CCBA) is announcing its 6th Annual Student Essay Contest. The CCBA’s website, located online at www.accbd.org, has been updated to include the 2009 essay topic, new contest rules, and entry information. This year, the CCBA is encouraging early entries.
The winner of the essay contest will receive $1,000 and an all expense paid trip to the Sixth Annual Community College Baccalaureate Association Conference in Reno-Tahoe, Nevada from March 13-15, 2009. $1,000 will also be awarded to the Student Government Association of the winner’s college.
The essay topic for 2009 is “Why obtaining a four year degree on my community college campus would be important to me.” Students who enter the contest should explore the issues of baccalaureate degrees on community college campuses in their essays.
Baccalaureate degrees are now offered on community college campuses throughout the United States and Canada through University Centers, 2+2 programs, and Distance Learning. Community colleges in fourteen states and three Canadian provinces currently confer the degrees themselves. The CCBA is conducting the contest to determine what students think about community colleges offering baccalaureate (four-year) degrees. Any student currently enrolled in a community college is eligible, and there is no limit to the number of students per school that may enter.
Contest entries must be postmarked by February 5, 2009 and mailed to Dr. Beth Hagan, Community College Baccalaureate Association, P. O. Box 60210, Ft. Myers, FL 33906, or emailed by midnight February 5, 2009 to BHagan7@aol.com. The winner will be notified no later than February 10th.
