The First Freedom Student Competition is a first-semester national essay and video contest. It offers high school students an opportunity to compete for $2,500 awards as they examine the history and current-day relevance of religious freedom, and then, by written essay or video production, present their evaluation. The competition is open to students int he United States and U.S. territories, and to American schools and American home-schooled students worldwide. We invited 9th-12th grade students at all levels of academic placement to participate. The right to religious freedom is set forth in constitutional and international human-rights law. Today's youth play an important role in upholding and strengthening this liberty; therefore, the First Freedom Student Competition has been developed to: help high school students better understand religious freedom - its history and current significance; encourage high school students to explore their individual and civic rights to and responsibilities for religious freedom; engage high school teachers and students in the study of American history and the First Amendment; and challenge high school students to strengthen their analytic writing and media skills.

Character, leadership, and service. These are core values that define a Daniels Scholar. The Daniels Scholarship Program distinguishes itself from other scholarship programs that focus purely on academic achievement or financial need, by selecting young leaders of exceptional character with the desire to give back to their communities. In addition to overall character, we look for natural leaders with the motivation to succeed and the potential to be engaged in the community. Roughly 250 young people from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming are awarded scholarships each year. The Daniels Scholarship is a four-year scholarship that applies toward the expenses of attaining a bachelor's degree at any nonprofit, accredited college or university in the United States. Funding pays toward all or part of a student's required college expenses that remain after all other scholarships and financial aid have been applied. Applicants must first complete the 2018/2019 FAFSA using their 2016 tax information before they can complete the Eligibility Questionnaire to determine if they are or are not eligible to apply for the Daniels Scholarship. Students must also have completed the ACT or SAT test and received confirmation of eligible scores by our November 30, 2017 deadline. They will be required to upload the score sheet from a single test. No super scoring is allowed!
