The Real Voices Essay Coaching Award provides five hours of free college application essay coaching. The award is open to:

• High school seniors applying to four-year colleges for Fall 2027 admission

Every student deserves the chance to write a powerful, personal college essay – no matter their background or ability to pay.

That’s why we’re offering the Real Voices Essay Coaching Award: five hours of one-on-one coaching—completely free—for a student applying for admission to a four-year college or university. Each year, we select one student to receive the full five hours of coaching.

Whether you already have a draft or don’t know where to start, this award is designed to help you reflect, write, and revise with confidence.
