The Project 21â Scholarship Program at Tropicana Evansville<http://www.tropevansville.com/> is part of an industry-wide initiative to stop casino gambling by people under the age of 21.  Tropicana Evansville achieves this objective by using one of the best tools available – education.  Students between the ages of 17 and 21 are given the chance to design and submit a poster, a video or a written essay to educate other young people that it is not permissible in Indiana to gamble in a casino under the age of 21.  Tri-state area high schools, technical schools, and colleges have participated in this scholarship program over the past several years.  Three $2,000 scholarships are awarded each year to the best entries. Tropicana Evansville has awarded over $46,000 in scholarships to area students since the Evansville program began.
