PURPOSE
This contest is designed to give high school students in Virginia an opportunity to express creative ideas
and concepts, conduct research, think critically, practice public speaking skills, and subsequently receive
recognition. It also presents a golden opportunity for our Conference on Education attendees to witness
firsthand the remarkable caliber of students from across the Commonwealth, providing a vibrant
showcase of excellence in education.

In 2021, bbgb celebrated 11 years as an independent bookshop by offering our first-ever scholarship to one high school senior in the greater Richmond area. Since then, our goal has been to make this an annual opportunity for high school seniors, so we’re incredibly excited this year to offer a scholarship in the form of $1,000. Recipients will also receive 10 copies of the book featured in their application essay to give to members of their community.

The Virginia Bluebird Society is proud to provide scholarships/grants up to a maximum of $500 to help young people who are interested in birds to attend summer camps, workshops, training programs, conventions and other birding-related activities.  Individual must be a resident of Virginia between the ages of 14 and 22.

The contest is open to contestants under the age of 19 as of October 1st of the current Optimist International contest year (October 1 – September 30) and who have not yet completed secondary school or its equivalent, including CEGEP students in Québec, Canada. There is no minimum age. Students must enter in the District in which they reside (see application for additional information).
