Folks,

In breaking from my tradition of submitting 'OT' postings, I turn to your
collective wisdom for the following:

The other day my 8th grader brought home a document indicating that she had
been nominated by her teacher to the "United States Achievement Academy"
(USAA).  For the last few days I've tried to determine the 'worthiness' of
such a nomination, in other words I'm trying to determine if there are any
tangible benefits from such a nomination or if this is just another 'scam'
(There are some fees involved and thus the red flag).

So far I have only found references along the lines that  "This person was
a USAA nominee" but nothing similar to a testimonial saying that "I
benefited from my nomination to USAA is such and such manner....".

I'd appreciate any information that any of you may have on the subject.

Regards
