The Moby Dick Scholarship
All Proceeds from our book “Moby Dick in 101 Pages” go towards this scholarship. This scholarship was created to help high school students who are getting ready to “go a whaling” (meaning going to college or a secondary education).
The scholarship is offered annually and is paid to 5 selected High School Students at $1,000 per student.
Email your submissions to Contemplatebooks@gmail.com (If your submission is selected, you will be notified by a return email. You will then provide your venmo/paypal account information where you will be paid $1,000 to go towards secondary school expenses).
