ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

The purpose of our scholarship is to provide recognition and financial encouragement to past participants in the Fort Atkinson Science Fair. To be eligible, an applicant must be a graduating senior who has competed at the science fair at least once and will be pursuing a post-high school course of study in a recognized field of science. The deadline for  applications is April 1st.

A $1000 award will be made at the end of the academic year, and announced during the annual school awards program. The number of awards each year will be dependent upon community financial support for the Fort Atkinson Regional Science Fair and also the availability of qualified applicants. The awards will be payable to the recipient and academic institution jointly, and be divided equally between the academic terms of the following school year.

Winners are selected based on academic achievement, extra-curricular and community activities, science-related activities and a development of career plans in a scientific field. A committee of three judges, consisting of two science fair board members and one science fair judge, makes the selection.

Applicants must submit a completed application form, a school transcript, two letters of recommendation, and a narrative describing one's activities and interests, including extra-curricular school activities, community and volunteer activities, jobs and individual projects. It should also include what has inspired the student to pursue his or her chosen field of study.  Consider outside and extracurricular activities, individual projects and interests, jobs, supporting teachers or mentors, camps and other forms of encouragement.
