Youth of the Semister/Year Award
One of the most popular Exchange youth projects, the Youth of the Semister/Year Award recognizes hard-working high school students who attain high levels of scholastic achievement, community involvement and leadership. This proven program not only rewards outstanding young people, but also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive for equally high levels of achievement.  Selection of the Youth of the Year includes a scholarship and is made from the Youth of the Semister recipients for that school year. Our club’s Youth of the Year advances to district competition, and ultimately, an opportunity to vie for the prestigious National Youth of the Year Award.
A.C.E Award
A.C.E. stands for Accepting the Challenge of Excellence. This program recognizes high school students who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance during their high school years. These changes have enabled the students to overcome adversities and prepare for graduation. The Killeen Club submits its top A.C.E. Award winner to the district competition. Winners at the district level then have an opportunity to compete for the National A.C.E. Award. The A.C.E honoree only receives a scholarship from the Killeen club.
