AFSA High School Scholarship Contest

Instead of an essay, AFSA's High School Scholarship Contest has students read a short passage on the history, function, and career paths of fire sprinklers, then answer an 8-question comprehension quiz. Winners are then chosen entirely at random by computer from among entrants, with odds depending on the total number of entries; a higher quiz score does not improve those odds. There is no GPA, income requirement, or entry fee; open to U.S. citizens or legal residents who are high school seniors (including homeschooled) planning to attend an accredited college, university, or trade school.
