The Cognella Cares Student Scholarship Program awards students with academic scholarships for writing personal essays on timely and relevant topics, including college life, politics, social justice issues, and more. The program was designed to provide students with a platform to share their unique thoughts, experiences, and ideas for change. We’re proud to highlight the innovative voices of tomorrow and to recognize students for their creativity, vulnerability, and thought leadership.

We’re delighted to share the winners of the 2024 Cognella Cares Student Scholarship Program: Maggie Moore of Middle Tennessee State University; Khari Jones of Morehouse College; and Lauren Collins of University of Wisconsin – Madison. Read their award-winning essays on the program page!
