The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is once again seeking young people who have given their time and talents through community service.

The program honors students in grades 5-12 who have made an impact in their community through volunteer service during the past year. Awardees will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion, and a trip to Washington, D.C.

Students may fill out an application online at the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards website and submit it to their principal. Each school’s top applicant will then be evaluated by a state-level judging panel, which selects the top middle level and high school candidate in each state.

Applications must be completed by November 5, 2013.
