Application Overview:
Have you ever taken an unexpectedly wonderful -- or terrible but funny -- trip with your family? Have advice on how to make the most of a cultural experience or destination? Have you gone somewhere -- near or far -- that opened up new ways of looking at the world?
The rules of the annual FTF Teen Travel Writing Scholarship are simple: Submit a travel blog of no more than 600 words about where you went and what it meant to you, what worked and what didn't, what you learned from the trip, or how it changed you. Use words, images and video to share your adventure with other travelers -- it can be funny, serious or contemplative -- as long as it's informative.
Please read the Rules carefully to ensure eligibility. Good Luck!
