This year, The National WWII Museum asks: How can people who disagree still work together for victory?

In order to fight – and ultimately win – WWII, the United States allied itself with countries it had political, economic and strategic disagreements with – both small and large. On the Home Front disagreements existed between politicians of different parties, between workers and factory owners, and between racial groups. Most times (but not always) we were able to put aside these differences for the greater good.

For your essay, think about the United States today – both the country as a whole and your city, school and even your family. You will see differences of opinion on a variety of subjects – both small and large. Examine these differences along with our common goals to answer the question: How can people who disagree still work together to solve a problem? Use WWII as a starting point and base your essay in part on America’s involvement in WWII. But don’t stop in the past. Use specific examples from your own experiences that support your ideas. This is not a research paper. Your essay will be judged foremost for its originality, clarity of expression, and adherence to contest theme, as well as its historical accuracy, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The National WWII Museum staff will read and evaluate entries.

The National WWII Museum is accepting entries through March 29th. If you are interested in learning more about this or other scholarship opportunities, conduct a free scholarship search today!
