Hello Students and School Administrators,

This will be the 26th year that the Loyal Order of Moose will be giving out the Moose Youth Awareness Scholarships. The Moose Youth Awareness Program is for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors that show leadership skills and want to become involved in their communities. A total of $30,000 in Scholarships will be awarded to High School Students. The Students will be required to give a minimum of three "Kids Talks" to 4-9 year-olds, encouraging them to make wise and healthy choices in life. They will have until February 15, 2014 to complete and submit a written report on their presentations. Those Students who complete and submit three "Kids Talks" presentations and written reports will receive from the California/Nevada Moose Associations a $50.00 Visa Card. Also the student that submits the most presentations and written reports from this Congress will receive Two Disneyland Tickets.
