In celebration of Black History Month and in support of educational opportunities within the communities we serve, Alltel is proud to present the Words of Wisdom essay contest.

This unique scholarship program supports young students seeking to share their wisdom and further their educations at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across America.

Ten winners will be chosen from all essays submitted to the contest. Each winning essayist will receive a $10,000 scholarship to a participating black college or university.

All 10 winners will be honored at an awards luncheon to be held Thursday, March 12th, 2009 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Words of Wisdom spokesperson and esteemed poet and author, Dr. Maya Angelou, will personally present each winner with their scholarship. The reception will also feature Musiq Soulchild.
