Each year over eleven thousand students in Middle Tennessee compete for this scholarship. The entries are first judged by the school counselors and then by independent judges. The three runners-up receive a fifteen hundred dollar scholarship and the winner receives a five thousand dollar scholarship. Each year a theme dealing with our freedom issues is chosen and the students have to write a three hundred-word essay. During the month of April a banquet is held honoring the students, their parents, school counselors and the high schools. In addition to awarding the scholarship, each high school is given a hundred dollars and a framed copy of the Declaration of Independence.
