The Mark Twain Scholarship Fund is incorporated in Florida as an independent 501(c)(3) charitable organization which conducts an annual essay competition open to college-level students. Founded in 1995, the Fund is comprised of five trustees who select a different topic each year for the essay and determine the winners. The specific purpose for which the corporation is organized is to promote the post-secondary education of qualified young Americans in their chosen discipline within the fields of the Arts and Humanities, Applied Arts, Education, Science, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering or Law.
