AFSA High School Senior Scholarship Contest

# AFSA High School Senior Scholarship Contest The American Fire Sprinkler Association runs a deliberately low-barrier scholarship: instead of essays, recommendations, or transcripts, entrants read a short page about fire sprinkler safety and industry careers, answer an eight-question quiz, and are entered into a random computer drawing. Five high school seniors each receive $1,000, paid directly to their school for tuition or books. AFSA runs two contests a year - this one for current high school seniors, and a Second Chance contest for people who have already graduated - awarding ten $1,000 scholarships annually. ## What You'll Do - Read the AFSA fire sprinkler safety and careers material linked from the contest page - Fill out the short online entry form with your contact details, high school, and anticipated graduation date - Take the eight-question quiz; the whole process takes roughly ten minutes - Submit only once - multiple entries are disqualified - If selected, reply within ten days and provide two forms of identification to verify eligibility ## Who Should Apply U.S. high school seniors planning to attend a college or trade school. The receiving school must appear on an approved accreditation list or in the CHEA directory. No GPA, essay, or financial documentation is required, which makes this a rare no-cost, low-effort entry for students who cannot invest hours in scholarship applications. ## Outcomes Five winners per contest receive $1,000 sent directly to their institution for tuition or books, and winners' names are posted on the AFSA scholarship site.
