Constitution Day Activism Results

Campus Reform offered a $1,000 grant for the best Constitution Day activism on a college campus for Constitution Day, 2009. The contest successfully encouraged college student groups to take part in Constitution Day activism supported by a U.S. mandate that all federally-funded schools offer a Constitution Day educational program.
