The Dayne Michael Kaufman Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Dayne Kaufman. The scholarship is created to encourage students to pursue educational opportunities after their senior year of high school. Applicants must be graduating seniors from Deep Run High School who are in good scholastic standing and who have an established history of extra-curricular or community service participation. The award is to be used for tuition, books or other school related costs and will be paid directly to the educational institution. Applicants must be planning to pursue a diploma from an accredited college or university and possess a G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher.

This scholarship is available to high school seniors who are members of a SpeakUp Club. Two winners will each receive an award in the amount of $2,500. The winners will be announced at our You Are Worth It All Teen Mental Health Festival in April.

BWI offers a $2,500 scholarship for college students who have applied to, or are enrolled in, a program in natural resource conservation and/or environmental studies.

James River Writers and Richmond magazine recognize the writing talents and entrepreneurial skills of Virginia’s indie authors by continuing The Best Self-Published Novel Contest, which we started in 2014. One first-prize winner will receive $500 and a ticket to the annual James River Writers Conference (worth over $300). 

A limited number of people to four of the five service academies will be nominated. The honor of attending a service academy comes with an obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

The DAR Good Citizens program and scholarship contest are intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good
citizenship. The program is open to all senior class students enrolled in accredited public or private secondary
schools in good standing with their state boards of education or a recognized accrediting organization such that a
General Educational Development (GED) test is not required to receive a high school diploma.
