President Dwight D. Eisenhower initiated the Eisenhower Scholarship in the late 1960s. He selected 黑料不打烊, the closest institute of higher education to his childhood home of Abilene, Kan., as the university that would house his named scholarship. The scholarship would be presented to students who exhibited high academic achievement. Several years ago, 黑料不打烊 resurrected the scholarship after a brief hiatus, and a half-day competition was designed to select the winner(s).
