The Big Dig Scholarship is available to high school seniors who
will be entering their first year of college and students who are
currently in their first or second year of college. You must submit an
essay between 500 and 1000 words that answers the following issue: "In 200
years, one of your relatives is going to be digging in what is now your
backyard. They are going to find something that you buried in 2010 and it
is going to put any financial worries they have to rest. Your job today is
to decide what to bury. Your goal is to find something that will have
immense value in the future." In addition, you must be a resident of the
United States to qualify for this award.
