US Ghost Adventures Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $2,000

Awards Available: 2

Award Deadline: Register to View


Perhaps you attend one of those haunted schools, or have had experiences outside campus that you’ve been dying (no pun intended) to share with the world. Or, maybe you’ve got a knack for fiction – your imagination leads the way in your everyday life. Either way, we’d love to hear your story, and to add a bit of incentive, US Ghost Adventures has decided to offer an annual scholarship award to support the studies of a young student of any major. $2,000 will go towards your education, to combat the scary prices of textbooks, a little padding for tuition, or even to go towards supplies you may need throughout the year.

While we’re all about ghosts, we also believe that education is the lifeblood of a thriving community. So, write us a scary story. Fiction or non-fiction. Tell us about the strangest, spookiest, or most unexplained event that’s happened in your life, or impress us with your imagination!

DETAILS

We will notify applicants within 30 days of each deadline. If you win, we'll reach out and ask for payment details, and we'll share your article on our site!
