About this scholarship
The Fraser Institute Student Essay Contest invites Canadian high school students to engage with ideas from the Fraser Institute's Essential Scholars series. Contestants write a 1,000–1,500 word essay exploring what one of those thinkers would say about Canadian economic prosperity today. Up to 15 awards of $1,500 are available across high school, undergraduate, and graduate categories. High school submissions must include the school name and grade. Strong essays demonstrate economic reasoning and cite academic references.
