Mission
The primary exempt purpose of the association is two fold : (1) to provide scholarship assistance to help promising high school students (who fit the horatio alger profile) attend college, and (2) to spread the message that america's free enterprise system provides the greatest opportunities in the world for personal achievement and success. The association was founded more than 70 years ago to combat a growing attitude among young people that economic opportunity was a thing of the past. The association strives to motivate and educate our nation's young people to the economic and personal opportunities afforded them by the promise of the american free-enterprise system. The association brings the "horatio alger heroes" of today together with those of tomorrow by bestowing the horatio alger award annually; hosting career, public service, and community service seminars; sponsoring free-enterprise forums; awarding scholarships each year; and providing an internship program.
Programs
9 programs
Membership and induction: the horatio alger award (the award) is recognized as one of the nation's most prestigious honors. The award is presented during the annual membership program and induction ceremonies held in washington, d.c., each year during a multi-day program for members, life partners and friends of distinction, held concurrently with the national scholars' conference. The programs focus on member achievements, interviews with new members, opportunities for member networking, mentoring of the national scholars and educational programs regarding the future of the american dream.
Member support and meetings: the association convenes the lifetime members and life partners to advance the mission, programs and services of the association on a regular basis including, but not limited to, the annual board of directors meeting, annual awards week in washington and at specialized forums, such as the international forum, alumni summits and regional convenings. These activities include ongoing communications with members, such as forum; the biennial report; only in america; and other online and printed materials that keep the members connected to the associations mission and work.
