The Honor Roll program supports these Strategic Plan goals as well as those of the First Lady’s Helping America’s Youth initiative. The first year of the Honor Roll program was extremely successful, with 511 colleges submitting applications. Further information about the program and first-year Honor Roll members and award winners may be found at https:// www.nationalservice.gov/honorroll.
