We don't want to be picky, but if you want to participate in the Benjamin Rush Awards Program, there are a few basic requirements you must meet. Generation Joshua reserves the right to update this list without notice, including clarifications to existing requirements. All eligibility questions should be directed to the Awards Administrator at benrush@hslda.org.
