Starting with the 2010 contest, Legacy Award applications will be entirely online, and due on January 8, 2010.

In addition, we are streamlining the application process for the Most Valuable Student Scholarship. This application will be significantly pared-down and due to Lodges on November 2, 2009.

The 500 national finalists will be required to submit a secondary application online. Top winners will be announced April 1, 2010.

These updates make applying for a scholarship easier, encouraging more students to participate and ensuring that the winners will be announced well before students must commit to a college or university.
