  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
recipients of the Discover Card Tribute Award scholarships. The winners 
were selected from over 10,000 applications nationwide.
  The Discover Card Tribute Award program honors outstanding high 
school juniors across the United States and overseas. The Tribute Award 
program not only recognizes the students scholastic achievement, but 
also their community service, leadership skills, unique talents, and 
goal attainment. The winners may use their scholarships for any form of 
post high school education, including trade schools and two year 
colleges.
  The scholarships are awarded in three categories of study: Arts and 
Humanities, Trade and Technical or Science, Business and Technology. 
Students can receive a gold (2,500), silver (1,750), bronze (1,250), 
and merit (1,000) Tribute Award scholarship.
  The winners from South Carolina are: Melanie Almonte, Goose Creek--
bronze; Shawnta Bolden, North Charleston--bronze; Reis Coggins, Fort 
Mill--silver; KoJillitta Griffin, Charleston--silver; Kiti Kajana, 
Columbia--gold; Anisa Kintz, Conway--silver; Courtney Sandifer, 
Barnwell--gold; Snehal Sarvate, Charleston--bronze; Krista Shirley, 
Gilbert--gold; and Mellisa Tanner, North Charleston--silver.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the young scholarship 
winners from the Palmetto State, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating these students for their current achievements, and 
encourage them to continue their contributions as our nation's young 
leaders.
