(Beaver Dam) Two Beaver Dam High School students were named the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1163 first-place recipients of the 2024 Voice of Democracy Scholarship contest.
Isabel Lehner and Aastha Singh won the contest based on their three-to-five minute audio-essay on a patriotic-based theme.
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) started the Voice of Democracy Scholarship program in 1947. The VFW became a national sponsor in the late 1950s and assumed sole responsibility for the program in 1961. The competition was created to provide students grades 9-12 the opportunity to express themselves in regard to democratic ideas and principles. Around 40,000 students participate in the competition each year and VFW awards more than $2.1 million in scholarships every year.
