$2,795 Scholarship will be Awarded to a High School Senior in 2025

National Conscience Month Scholarship

January 2025 will mark the 6th Annual observance of National Conscience Month. Throughout the month Americans from all walks of life will be imagining new ways to celebrate the benefits of using their Conscience to guide their thoughts, words and deeds.

Here’s a special opportunity for high school seniors across the nation!  You’re now invited to participate in a unique and creative way––by writing a short essay about using the Conscience. Think of a real situation in your life––or create an imaginary scenario––in which you allowed (or chose not to allow) your Conscience to guide your thoughts, words and actions.  What were the results?  Were there benefits?  Or unexpected consequences?  What did you learn from this experience?

One talented student will receive a $2,795 scholarship ($2,000 scholarship for higher education and $795 scholarship for the AMI Meditation Foundation Course), awarded for an original essay of 1,000 words or less.
