“I was selected to participate in the United States Senate Youth Program. It is a government scholarship and I was awarded 10,000 dollars. It was a really intense application process. I took test to qualify then wrote an essay, and sent it to the Idaho education department. I also sent in all my grades and extracurricular stuff as well as a number of references. I was just grateful for our wonderful school district and the people who helped me a bunch when it came to the application process.“ Senior, Keegan Wolfe said.
