Andrew Levin, of Centennial, has been selected as one of sixty-four Eagle Scouts from across the country to receive a $1,000 scholarship provided by the National Eagle Scout Association.

Andrew is currently attending Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and is majoring in political science and international studies. Over 2,611 Eagle Scout scholarship applications were submitted for different Eagle Scout Scholarship programs. Levin's selection represents recognition of his superb record of accomplishments.

The Eagle Scout Service, under the direction of the Boy Scout Division, National Office, Boy Scouts of America, selects the winners through a review committee. This committee also determines the number and size of scholarships to be granted each year to deserving Eagle Scouts graduating from high school. Besides being a graduating high school senior, applicants must also be currently registered in the Boy Scout of America, have been granted the Eagle Scout Award prior to submitting the application. Additionally, each candidate must have demonstrated leadership ability in Scouting and a strong record of participation in activities outside of Scouting, and have the endorsement of a volunteer or professional Scout leader who knows the applicant personally.

One of the nation's largest youth development organizations, the Boy Scouts of America currently has 4.7 million youth members and 1.2 million adult volunteers.
