positive learning experience, designed to enhance their self-esteem and develop a

specific skill. Scholarships can be used for tutoring, sports, dance, music, art, or other

positive contributions to the community. Nominations come from schools, fire and police

departments, and private citizens who have been helped by a young person.

camp or overnight experience.
