The attached announcement arrived on the net today. Although I
doubt that we have any list members young enough to be eligible,
perhaps some U.S. list members know of students who might be
interested.

Fulbright Young Essayists Awards
*****************************************************************
The Fulbright Young Essayists Awards are a new nationwide essay
scholarship program for students grades 7 through 12. The Awards
were created in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Ful-
bright Program and serve to promote an understanding of interna-
tional cross-cultural issues among students and honor the coun-
try's top young writers.
The new program is open to all students in grades 7-12 who are
currently enrolled in public or non-public schools in the United
States, United States territories, and United States-sponsored
schools abroad.
Students may select from three questions, arranged by grade
levels, which explore international issues and cross-cultural
experiences.
A total of twelve students will receive scholarship prizes, in
the form of $500 - $2,500 bonds redeemable upon graduation, as
well as other opportunities.
Sponsored by the United States Information Agency and the Al-
