To our Young American Awardees: |
||||
Congratulations on being selected by your high school administrators as an outstanding senior student who has demonstrated an interest in perpetuating the ideals of American democracy!
The criteria used to select you as the YAA awardee include your demonstrated love of country, good leadership, principles and interest in spreading the concepts of our democracy through community service.
You should be proud of this distinction!
The men and women of the WCMOA look forward to meeting and honoring you at this year’s YAA banquet.
You, along with the other Fairfield County awardees, are now eligible to compete for additional scholarship awards. The YAA Selection Committee will consider all the online submissions and chose the top winners. This site has been designed to assist you with this online process: The first step is to complete and submit the online YAA Candidate Information Form which includes a short essay of 250 words or less and a short biography to be published in the YAA banquet commemorative brochure and read publicly at the event. |

The last step is to make your reservations for the YAA banquet. Each awardee receives three complimentary tickets. At the banquet, you will be presented a Certificate of Recognition and a copy of the booklet "Great American Documents." In addition, the scholarship winners will be announced. Please note that you must be present to receive a cash scholarship award. |

Once again, Congratulations and Good Luck |
