To be eligible, a student shall satisfy certain criteria set forth in the resolution, including committing to at least one year of community or military service following graduation.

A Seal of Civic Recognition shall be awarded by DESE and shall accompany the student's high school diploma. A recipient of a Seal of Civic Recognition who also commits to military service after graduation shall additionally receive a "Letter of Congratulations, Commendation, and State Gratitude" signed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Lieutenant Governor.
