This year's Scholarship Essay Contest, sponsored by the Sacramento Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, was recorded by a Media Edge crew on May 3 at the Dante Club in Sacramento. The winning essays were chosen from a field of 144 entries from greater Sacramento area high school students that reacted to this year's prompt, "We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive," by Albert Einstein. At this event, the 10 finalists read their essays. The authors of the top three essays earned $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000 scholarships, and the other seven each earned a $750 scholarship.
