Keisha Cason of Brooksville, Florida.

the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) as a 2005 NFIB 
Free Enterprise Scholars Award Program.
  Created in 2002, the award identifies high school seniors from all 
around the country who demonstrate scholarship and entrepreneurial 
achievement. From the 2,100 applicants nominated by NFIB members, an

As she makes the transition to college, she will continue to perform at
