Application requirements for the Jan Egerton and Don Smitley Mesothelioma Scholarship are:

  • Application form
  • Essay
  • Photo
  • Biography
Additional Information: Submissions will be judged on content, correctness of facts, grammar, style, and originality. Judges will look for clear, original essays that are logically organized and well-supported. The judges will select the top ten essays through the criteria listed above. The top five finalists will then have an opportunity to use social media to help determine their final placement. The finalists in positions six through ten will be honorable mention winners and will be notified after the public voting period close. Honorable mention winners will not be selected by votes. A page will be created on MesotheliomaHelp.org for the essays. A link to the essays will be provided to the finalists when they are notified of their placement. Finalists will be notified and will have three weeks to garner votes for their essays and to request citations (links) from other academic sources. Finalists should encourage their friends and families to read their essays through sharing on Facebook, Google+ or via Twitter postings. A specific hashtag will be used to track the activity. The winners will be determined by a combination of the number of votes for their essays and for the number of citations (links) from other academic works. Note that links are weighted more heavily than votes and each citation counts as 100 votes. Previous first-place winners are not eligible for participation.

Award Amount: Awards are offered as follows: first prize $2,500; second prize, $1,250; third prize, $750; fourth prize, $500.
