The <br />purpose of the scholarship program is to engage the minds of our young people <br />into the area of government. With many government administrations, most staff <br />members are from the baby boomer generation and very few young people are <br />exhibiting an interest in government. The essay will be centered around <br />government and will, hopefully, spur interest in our young people to consider a <br />future in local government. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br />
