This is a
major project of The Society held under the auspices of the Washington Workshops
Foundation, a private nonprofit educational program in American government for
high school students. Winners of an annual national essay contest
sponsored by The NSCDA are sent to Washington, D.C. for a week of
citizenship education about the national government.
In 2008, 64 students were sponsored by the Dames.
Read about their experiences in their own
words. A letter from one
student and
comments from a number of students.
The essay topic
for
2008 was "If you were a presidential candidate,
what domestic issue would you consider most important and what would you
do about it?" Read two winning essays:
A or B.
The topic for 2009 is "Over the course
of history which American leader has provided the greatest visionary
leadership?"
