Description

    The Presidential Freedom Scholarship program recognizes high school 
juniors and seniors for outstanding leadership in service. Each high 
school in the United States may award up to two recipients with a 
$1,000 scholarship for college: Five hundred dollars ($500) is funded 
from the Corporation's National Service Trust, and the remaining $500 
is secured locally from civic groups, local business, and other 
community based organizations.
    While the selection of the recipients is made by the high school, 
the principal must complete an application in order for the Corporation 
to release the funds in the form of a check made out to the student and 
the college that he/she is planning to attend. The application may be 
completed either in paper or online form.
    The Corporation is seeking public comment for approval of the 
Presidential Freedom Scholarship Application which will be used by high 
school principals to nominate high school juniors and seniors for this 
scholarship.
