The Hope of America Award is presented by the Tremonton Kiwanis Club, a tradition for over 20 years in the community. It started by “believing that the strength of our nation was directly related to the strength of our schools and our students.”

The awards program is for 5th and 6th grade students at local elementary and intermediate schools.

“This award was created to honor outstanding students who demonstrated during the school year: leadership, good character, scholarship and a willing to serve others,” the Tremonton Kiwanis Club stated.

The Tremonton Kiwanis Club aims to honor students in participating schools that are, “willing to BUILD a better tomorrow.”
