Students to be invited to compete for $5000 award
In keeping with Nordic Naturals’ vision to see that future generations are healthier and happier, the leading omega-3 manufacturer recently announced its “Learn. Inspire. Change. 2013 What’s Essential™ Essay Scholarship” for new and returning college students. As part of the company’s “What’s Essential” campaign, Nordic Naturals is challenging the next generation to learn what’s essential to them, inspire healthy and positive choices in others, and become the new face of change that shapes our world.
Scholarship applicants will be asked to answer the question: What are the essential components of the education that your generation needs to make a positive impact on the world? The applicant who best answers the question in 1000-1500 words will receive $5,000 for college and a year’s supply of Nordic Naturals’ award-winning omega-3 products.
“As today’s young adults become tomorrow’s leaders, we want to be a part of their success,” said Joar Opheim, founder and CEO of Nordic Naturals. “What’s essential to us, as a company, is our commitment to delivering the world’s safest, most effective omega oils so that each generation can live healthier, happier, and pass it on. In addition to making premium quality omega-3s – which are essential for optimal health – this scholarship is one more way for us to achieve that goal.”
Applicants must be US citizens who are new or returning undergraduates enrolled full-time at an accredited college or university, with a minimum high school or college GPA of 3.0. Applicants do not need to demonstrate financial need.
