Description

The Herbert Hoover Uncommon Student Award is a scholarship program for Iowa high school juniors. The program is designed to attract students who are motivated and community minded. The award, which honors Herbert Hoover, an Iowa native and the 31st President of the United States, identifies Iowa high school juniors who propose and then accomplish projects of their own design. The projects the students propose should demonstrate the values that Herbert Hoover exemplified in his life of public service. The Hoover Uncommon Student Award is driven completely by student interest. Think of something which captures your attention and likes to do. Brainstorm how to make that into a project: Something outdoors; community or school need; technology; international need. Past projects have made an impact in some way. Two letters of recommendation must be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
