The American Freedom Association
provides the Oscar K. Merritt
Scholarship Awards and arranges the Seminar/Tour
including bus transport, lodging, scheduling, tour
coordinators, and an awards dinner in
Washington, DC.
Each high school registers its
participation with the American Freedom
Association program coordinator. The school
then arranges and judges its own essay contest. The
winning student and a teacher/chaperone
participate in a seminar/tour of the United Nations
in New York and of Capital Hill in Washington. The
tour group often meets with government
officials and specialists from all over the world.
While on the tour, four
scholarship winners are announced and present
their papers at an awards dinner. All students
on the tour are invited, expenses
paid, to attend the annual Southeastern World Affairs
Institute in July.
Scholarship winners are invited to present their papers and
receive their scholarship awards at the Institute.
Scholarships are administered
by the American Freedom Association Treasurer and paid
directly to the winners.
