Society members participating in this program sponsor a specific high school in their local area.  The society sends a letter to the high school (copy to the sponsor) inviting the school to identify that school's award recipient based on a specific set of selection criteria.  The sponsor is then asked to follow up with a phone call and/or visit to the high school to encourage participation.  Once the individual has been selected to receive the award, the high school is encouraged, by the sponsor, to schedule an appropriate presentation venue where the recipient is presented the award in the presence of his/her peers.

Our program objective is to encourage local high schools and high school students to become more familiar with our alma mater and, of course, to identify potential candidates for the West Point Admissions Field Force.
