Welcome

I'm Kyle Hutzler - a sixteen year old highly interested in business, economics, and finance. Over the past two years, I've spent upwards of 200 hours working on a policy paper on education reform. My original intentions with this paper - completed independently - were simply to make the most of my perverse sense of fun. Along the way, I happened to learn of the Davidson Fellowship - a scholarship for gifted high-school students.

It was from here that I began to redirect the work for submission - garnering the support of professionals close to home and around the country. In July 2008, I learned that I was selected as a 2008 Fellow and was honored to attend the awards ceremony at the Library of Congress in September. Here you will find the portfolio as submitted in March 2008.

The Davidson Fellowship

28 June 2008

Dear Friends:

It is my sincere pleasure to inform you that I have been selected as a 2008 Davidson Fellow for my policy paper on education reform.

On 24 September, I will be recognized alongside some of the most promising scientists, artists, and writers of my generation at the Library of Congress, where I will receive a $10,000 scholarship.

To all of you who have played a part in this project, offering your insight, your platform, your nominations, and your best wishes, this award is the highest thanks that I can offer you.

I began this project with a quotation by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.: "Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions." At this culmination of our shared endeavor, I cannot help but turn to Robert Frost. It was he who wrote, "But I have promises to keep. / And miles to go before I sleep."

And miles to go,
Kyle Hutzler.
