This year’s 4-Way Test Essay competition, starting October 12, 2013, has been moved forward to give 12th grade graduating high school seniors a more relaxed lead up to the entry submission deadline.  Open to all 12th grade graduating high school seniors who are college bound in 2014 and active members of Interact, the theme is an essay on any one or more tenets of Rotary’s 4 Way Test. 

Students must submit their essay and signed cover sheet to their High School Interact Club Sponsor which must be received no later than November 15, 2013.  High School Interact Club Sponsors should sign the cover sheet and forward it by fax with the essay to Barbara Sharp, Competition Coordinator; (832) 200-2852 which must be received no later than November 29, 2013. High School Interact sponsors must review the forms for accuracy and completeness, check the cover sheet box stating eligibility and sign accordingly. A copy should also be sent to the sponsoring Rotary Club. 

 

The 4-Way Test Flyer and competition rules & entry forms are available on the left side of this web page.

1. Students must submit their essay and signed cover sheet to their High School Interact Club Sponsor which must be received no later than November 15, 2013. 

2. High School Interact Club Sponsors should sign the cover sheet and forward it by fax with the essay to Barbara Sharp, Competition Coordinator; (832) 200-2852 which must be received no later than November 29, 2013.

3. These deadlines are binding; entries received after November 29 will be disqualified.

A presentation will also be made at the Interact District Round-up to be held at Klein Forest High School on the same day.

We are hoping that moving the entry start date will encourage more eligible seniors to participate in the event than ever before. Scholarship awards will be earned by the best three entrants, as determined by the panel of judges in January 2014.
