2023 Essay Topic: Promoting Township Government.
The question is: “Representation of people and ideas is the hallmark of government in the United States. No level of government is as close to its constituents as the township. Today’s townships face several challenges, including decreasing populations, annexation pressures from cities, declining interest in public service, growing demands from constituents, and a distrust of government. Considering these challenges, what do you see as the future role of townships in local government?"

Beware of Scholarship Scams
-
Almost 95% of all student aid comes directly from the federal and state governments or the school itself using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Be wary of any financial aid search company that charges a fee to match students with sources of financial aid.
There are no guarantees that the company will find any aid that you can’t find yourself.
For additional information on scholarship scams, visit www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/scholarship/index.shtmlFrom the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
