Student Essay Contest

Each year Right to Life of Indianapolis sponsors an annual Essay Contest for all Indianapolis area 7-12 grade students. There are four individual contests, one for 7th grade, one for 8th grade, one for 9th & 10th grades and one for 11th & 12th grades. Each student entry must have a sponsoring organization, such as a church, school or home school organization. The sponsoring organization must be located in Marion County or one of the seven bordering counties.

Each essay is to address a particular topic which is determined by Right to Life Indianapolis each year (See Essay Contest Topics for 2010 below).  For questions or to request literature of additional information, please call Right to Life of Indianapolis at 317-582-1526 or email life@rtlindy.org .
