The U.S. Department of State along with the Global SchoolNet Foundation is pleased to announce the 2004 "Doors to Diplomacy" award competition. This educational award will recognize the student-created Global SchoolNet Web project that best teaches others about the importance of international affairs and diplomacy.
Winners will be announced in spring 2004. Each student member of the team who wins the "Doors to Diplomacy" award will receive a $2,000 scholarship, and the winning coaches’ schools will each receive a $500 cash award. The State Department also will sponsor a trip to Washington, DC, where the winners will receive a private tour of the State Department facilities, meet with key officials, and participate in a special award presentation ceremony.
