Selection of Finalists
Eight young men and eight young women, all seniors from Andrew County and Buchanan County high schools, are selected to participate in this prestigious leadership, professional development and scholarship program each fall.

Any such identifying information found in an application is removed by the Selections Committee. Each application is assigned a number and the judges score the applications knowing only the application number. An applicant shall never have been married nor shall their parent/guardian be a current member of the scholarship board.
