May 24, 2012 (San Diego) -- The final round of the STOP ,Stop Taxing Our Pupils, 2011 four-step scholarship process will take place at the Merrill Lynch building, located at 701 B St., San Diego (downtown), in the second floor Conference room 2 west, from 7-8:30 p.m.

 

Approximately 150 high school seniors registered for the scholarship. After three grueling steps, five finalists from different San Diego county schools will vie for four- year college scholarships in the amounts of 1) $48,000.00, 2) $32,000.00, 3) $24,000.00, 4) $16,000.00 and 5) $8,000.00. Five prominent San Diegans will serve as judges.

 
The five finalists will take on the roles of San Diego’s five member Congressional Delegation and will be asked as a “Super-committee” to balance the nation’s federal budget. They will justify their decisions, and explain how they would deal with the nation’s $15 trillion (and fast growing) debt.
 
For more information, and to watch the video presentations of the finalists from the Round Three speech contest on April 11, go to www.stop2011.org.
There is no charge.
