Award Description:
The Herbert Hoover Uncommon Student Award is a $5,000 scholarship program for Iowa high school juniors. The program annually identifies and honors up to 15 Iowa high school juniors who propose and then accomplish a volunteer project of their own choosing and design. Grades, test scores, essays and financial need are not evaluated. The Hoover Uncommon Student Award is driven completely by student interest. Think of something which captures your attention. Think of something you like to do. Brainstorm how to make that into a project: Something outdoors? Community need? School need? Technology? International need? Think how you can take that interest and establish an ambitious goal for yourself. Past projects have made an impact in some way.
Eligibility Guidelines:
Must be a high school junior in Iowa. Students chosen for the 2010 Uncommon Student Class are required to be at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum in West Branch, Iowa between 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 12 and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday June 13. Students are required to give a presentation at the library-museum sometime between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 9, 2010. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CANNOT BE IN WEST BRANCH ON THOSE DAYS.
