Finalists spend a required expense-paid weekend in West Branch (just east of Iowa City) in June. Why a Weekend in West Branch?
• Finalists return in October to make presentations about their project (maximum of 12 minutes) at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library. • Each student receives $1,000 at that time. • A committee of distinguished Iowans listens to the presentations and chooses three students to receive a $5,000 scholarship award for study at an accredited two or four year college/university anywhere in the country.
