The Presidential Freedom Scholarships program recognizes high school juniors and seniors for their outstanding leadership and commitment to community service in their communities through a $1,000 scholarship for college. The program, which is administered by Learn and Serve America at the Corporation for National and Community Service, provides $500, must be matched with $500 from a community organization, civic group, foundation or business. Students who complete at least 100 hours of community service in a year, either through a school-based service-learning program or independently through service at a nonprofit or faith-based organization, are eligible to receive the scholarship. Each high school in the nation may select up to two students who have met or exceeded these requirements. This year we are offering up to 8,000 scholarships. The application and more information can be found on the Corporation?s website: <a href="http://www.nationalservice.org/scholarships">http://www.nationalservice.org/scholarships</a>. Take advantage of this opportunity for your students and get their applications in by the July 16, 2004 deadline!
