thorshammer11 - no , he is not an eagle scout. he started a service project 3 yrs ago and worked on it throughout high school. This scholarship required a letter from an unrelated adult to attest to the applicants achievement, so i would think this would limit an applicant the ability to lie about their experience. there are several scholarships like this one (including the AXA acheivement, kohl’s, and prudential spirit of community) which award initiative and committment to volunteerism. i wouldn’t be so cynical about the recipients - althought the AXA community award site does not list details about recipients, if you look at the prudential spirit of community site you can see detail about the recipients specific projects which is impressive to say the least. there is some overlap of winners with these awards, and i don’t think these kids are the ones that just ‘took part in an event’ …they were the kids who organized something and show commitment over time.
