High school students compete for scholarships by answering questions on US history, culminating in a national finals event. The competition, called the Presidential 1776 Award, offers significant prizes to the top three scorers.
and gives away a total of $250,000 between three award recipients who know the most about the history of the United States. “The president is very excited about our 250th anniversary, so there have been lots of programs and things that he’s initiated during this time.
One of them is the Presidential 1776 Award, and we are conducting that all across the country,” McMahon told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. “Right now, it’s open enrollment up until February 21st. Students can go on, can register, and then they’ll go online and take what is being billed as ‘the impossible test.’ Because when they actually do sit down to take the test, which is all about civics questions, et cetera — it’s totally nonpartisan it’s really about the history of the country — they’ll have 90 minutes to answer 4,000 questions. So it’s a question of how many can they answer correctly during that 90 minutes,” she explained., high school students in grades 9-12 will compete in three stages: the online test, in-person regional semi-finals, and a national finals event in Washington, DC in June. “We have three scholarship prizes. The top one is $150,000, second place is $75,000, and third place is $25,000. So it’ll be quite exciting,” McMahon said. “Hopefully we’ll create a lot of interest in civics and the history of the country during this process.”Kelly: Trump Trying Throw Me in Prison 'Is How Democracies Die'Breitbart Business Digest: The Trump Economy Worked, the Fed Study Didn’t, Happy Valentine’s Day AnywayKelly: Trump Trying Throw Me in Prison ‘Is How Democracies Die’Rosie O’Donnell Doesn’t Regret Fleeing ‘Scary’ U.S. over Trump: ‘Something Is Really Wrong and No One Is Doing Anything About It’
