In Nebraska, over 300 high school students participate each year in the Testing and Awards Program. Students who achieve above the 90th percentile on the standardized written test are invited to apply for the study trip. A committee from Nebraska then interviews the candidates to select our nominee. In addition to prizes awarded from the national office, the Nebraska chapter adds a variety of prizes and medals of its own.
