61st Annual Horatio Alger Awards 2008
Distinguished individuals have been inducted as members of the Horatio Alger Association annually since 1947. In April 2008, the Association held its 61st Annual Horatio Alger Awards to honor and induct this year's recipients as the newest members of the Association. During the Awards event, the Horatio Alger Award winners met with high school seniors from around the nation who have been selected to receive Horatio Alger National Scholarships, each valued at $20,000.

The events provide an opportunity for some of the nation's most impressive and determined young people to learn firsthand about the philosophies and experiences that helped the 2008 Horatio Alger Award recipients surmount significant obstacles to achieve successful lives.
