Each year, 104 students are selected as delegates for an all expense paid educational week in Washington, D.C. Students are immersed in Washington activities throughout their stay. Delegates tour national monuments and will hear major policy addresses by senators, cabinet members and other government officials. Students are also awarded a $5,000 scholarship.

Applications may only be acquired through your high school principal or state level education administrators.

The deadline for this award is early fall each year.
