Spirit of Youth Scholarship  Application

The American Youth Conference is a unique program for high school students (grades 10 - 12) offering a rare opportunity for participation in a 4-day residential program at the Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge, Penn. Focused on the discussion of current issues facing the United States sessions and seminars approach these issues from a historical and global perspective on constitutional law and government. The program allows students to explore within themselves interpersonal skills and leadership potential. Participation is by invitation only and based on application and essay.

The Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, founded in 1949, celebrates the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights and their relevance to our daily lives. Their goal is to educate and inspire students and their teachers with the words, meanings and emotions that these founding documents convey, utilizing interactive programs that explore our history and debates that focus on Constitutional concepts in this changing world.

The 2008 program is scheduled for March 13-16. Participating students will have all registration costs covered and receive a travel stipend to attend.
