Overview
The ACLU's College Scholarship for Youth Activism Award was established to recognize the courage of students and the example they set for their peers in defending civil liberties. The program aims to provide intelligent, resourceful, and committed young people with support for their education in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the struggle to ensure the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. In 2000, the first year of the program, the ACLU awarded scholarships to eight high school seniors.
