including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Propose ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Propose ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are expected to respond, 

including the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology (e.g., permitting electronic 

submissions of responses). 

Background: Recognizing that 

community service and civic 

engagement are among the historic 

missions of most colleges and 

universities, the Corporation’s Board of 

Directors has identified Strategic Plan 

targets that include significant increases 

in: the use of service-learning in higher 

education, the number of college 

students performing community service, 

and, in particular, the number of college 

students providing tutoring and other 

services designed to promote the high 

school completion and college access of 

youth in disadvantaged circumstances. 

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 http:// 

www.nationalservice.gov/honorroll. 

Current Action: As with the first year 

of the program, information collected in 

the Honor Roll application will include: 

data on the scope and impacts of service 

projects; estimates of the number of 

enrolled students participating in 

community service activities; and 

information on institutional supports for 

service such as academic servicelearning opportunities, community 

service coordination offices, and 

scholarships and other benefits in 

recognition of student service. 

A special emphasis section of the 

2007 Honor Roll application will solicit 

descriptions of exemplary service 

projects focusing on Youth Education 

Support. Last year’s special focus 

section on Hurricane Relief has been 

deleted. Correspondingly, the 

Presidential Awards for Hurricane 

Relief that were made as part of the 

2006 Honor Roll program will be 

replaced by Presidential Awards for 

Youth Education Support. Meanwhile, 

application guidance will emphasize 

that information concerning new or 

ongoing hurricane relief efforts may be 

included among the five exemplary 

project descriptions an institution may 

submit in support of a potential 

Presidential Award for General 

Community Service. The Corporation 

will consult with the higher education 

community and others concerning 

potential special emphasis topics for 

future years. 

The selection of institutions for 

receipt of Presidential Awards under the 

President’s Higher Education 

Community Service Honor Roll program 

will be based on information provided 

in the application. The deadline for 

institutions to submit applications is 

July 15, 2007. It is expected that a 

similar application/ information 

collection activity will be repeated 

annually, with a similar annual 

deadline.
