WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) is encouraging Nebraska students with a strong record in community service to apply for the Prudential Spirit of Community 2019 Award.

This community service award is open for applicants in grades 5-12, and members of Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs, and affiliates of Points of Light’s HandsOn Network. The deadline to apply is November 6, 2018.

Two Nebraska students will be selected to join other honorees from across the country for an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., where they’ll receive a $1,000 award and a silver medallion. Out of all of the nation’s honorees, 10 students will be chosen as America’s top youth volunteers of the year. These honorees will receive an additional $5,000, as well as a $5,000 grant to the charity of their choice.
