The application also requires a 200-word essay highlighting the one achievement that they consider to be most outstanding and a 800-1,200 word essay on “How do you intend to serve as an example, now and in the future, of a responsible American Citizen?”
Applications must be postmarked no later than Sunday, March 1. The winner will also have their application submitted for the District and National Youth of the Year Awards and an opportunity to win a $15,000 scholarship.
