In addition, a $400 Gift Certificate for the company’s textbooks will be awarded to the Catholic school(s) attended by each of the Catholic school student winners.
Catholic homeschools of winning homeschool students will receive a free textbook of their choice from among Catholic Textbook Project history textbooks.
Winning essays will be published on the publisher’s blog and Facebook pages.
“We are very proud of this contest and especially of last year’s impressive four 2015 winners, and their schools and homeschools,” says Van Hecke, who is also headmaster at a Ventura, California-based Catholic school.
