Freedom 250 launches Impossible Civics Test ahead of America’s 250th
Freedom 250 and the U.S. Department of Education have launched the Impossible Civics Test in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, according to a promotional Facebook reel. The post said the initiative, promoted alongside Secretary Linda McMahon, invites Mississippi high school students to take part and compete for scholarships totaling $250,000.
The 2026 semiquincentennial marks 250 years since the United States declared independence. Observances and programs tied to the anniversary aim to engage communities and students in history and civic life.
Organizers are promoting the test as a way to increase interest in civics among young people and to offer scholarship incentives. The contest offers an opportunity for high school students in Mississippi to participate in national celebrations while potentially earning financial support for education.
Students and educators interested in signing up were directed to presidential1776award.org in the Facebook reel. Details about eligibility, deadlines and how scholarships will be awarded were not provided in the post.
This is a developing story. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
