I selected the topic.

I am happy to defer to either of the two foundations or take their
instructions for as many nominations as they like if they want me to
propose a panel.

> What the goal of this proposal in the first place?

I would like to see the Education Program encourage beginning editors
still in academia to organize thoughts in essay format.

Where does this idea come from, especially the topic selected?

How "the best" will be determined, and by who?

[James Salsman]

I offer $50 USD first prize and $25 for the runner-up for the best
twelve paragraph essay on the topic of whether college students are
likely to pay more in income taxes over their lifetime than the
present value of the entire amount of their college tuition, room, and
board expenses.

This contest is open only to the top 50% of participants in the
Wikimedia Education Program or WikiEd Foundation's student editors.

If there are any objections to this contest, please let me know. If
there are any reasons it shouldn't be communicated to the eligible,
please let me know. I ask both foundations to match my award, taking
the prizes to $150 and $75 if they agree. Thank you!

Sincerely,
James Salsman
