$500 Youth Citizenship Award

The Valley Service Organization (VSO) is now accepting applications from graduating high school seniors for its 2013 Youth Citizenship Award worth $500.00.

Sudie Trowbridge, VSO co-chairman for the award program with Leslie Johnson, said applications are now available from the counselors’ offices at the all Carbon County School DistrictNo. 2 high schools. All graduating seniors in the district are eligible to apply, including those who are home schooled, she said.

Deadline for returning applications is April 15. Applicants must be residents of CCSD 2 and will be asked on the application to write paragraphs outlining school activities (sports, student government, clubs, etc.,) community service and plans for the future. Applicants will also have to supply two letters of recommendation.

The award is not a scholarship, Trowbridge said, and there are no restrictions on how the money may be used. The annual award recognizes students for outstanding awareness of the meaning and importance of good citizenship and volunteerism.

Completed applications should be mailed to Valley Service Organization, c/o Trowbridge, P.O. Box 1169, Saratoga, WY 82331

If unable to contact a high school counselor, home-schooled graduating seniors may obtain the application form by emailing Trowbridge at: [email protected].
