Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I apply to more than one of the deadlines?
Yes, you may apply to as many of the deadlines as you wish. However, please limit your submissions to one essay per deadline.
What are the steps involved in receiving a scholarship?
Student authors must submit an essay on one of the topics provided on our scholarships page. If your essay is in the top 1-2% of all submissions, Elder & Leemaur Publishers will have it featured in our next publication.
Shortly after our staff determines student publishing opportunities, an independent panel of judges will determine which published essays will receive scholarships. The entire process generally takes 3-4 months to complete.

If you will be attending a college/university in either Canada or the

Your essay should not exceed 500 words. However, only the body of the essay will count towards the 500 word limit.
