Congratulations!

You have been nominated by a CYC team member, mentor or a special adult in your life who has seen you grow as a student, give back to your community and has the can-do attitude in life! 

In order to complete the process as one of the potential winners for CYC’s $1,500 Outstanding Student Award, you must submit a photo of yourself and a short 2–4-minute video, or a 500–750-word essay that answers the following questions to help our judges know more about you: 

• State your name, and the school you are attending/attended as part of CYC.  

• If you have already graduated, how are you currently pursuing enrollment in higher education or training, enlistment in the military or employment in the workforce?  

• How has CYC made a positive impact on your education, career or life decision?  

• How do you strive to better yourself, your family, your community or your school through involvement or volunteerism? 

• Why do you think this special person nominated you? 

Attach Student Photo*  

• Ensure your face is visible and that the photo is appropriate to be shared for media and other marketing materials promoting your nomination or award. 

Once you have created your video or essay (you only need to complete the video or the essay, not both), please use the appropriate form below to submit your materials.
