CONGRATULATING NISWONGER FOUNDATION HON. TED POE OF TEXAS IN THE 
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, June 3, 2011 Mr. POE of Texas. 
Mr. Speaker,
  
  The online version should be corrected to read: CONGRATULATING 
NISWONGER FOUNDATION HON. DAVID P. ROE OF TENNESSEE IN THE HOUSE 
OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, June 3, 2011 Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Mr. 
Speaker,


 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 

  The Foundation's work is known by an ever growing number of students 
and teachers in my district. Its school partnership and scholarship 
programs are aimed at educating and improving our region through the 
betterment of its young leaders. Niswonger scholars are chosen based on 
their proven leadership in the community, strong academics, character, 
and a pledge to return to our area to work, and lead, in their chosen 
profession. This need-based scholarship offers students the opportunity 
to attend the college or university of their choice.
  Likewise, the Foundation established the Northeast Tennessee College 
and Career Ready Consortium, an ongoing partnership with public high 
schools that will eventually touch 29 high schools and 26,100 students. 
This program gives county schools best practices, provides additional 
resources for Northeast Tennessee's dedicated teachers, and gives 
students a challenging and engaging academic atmosphere in preparation 
for college or a career.
  Again, I commend the Niswonger Foundation and its founder Scott 
Niswonger on ten years of life-changing service to Northeast Tennessee.
