Thank you for helping us make the 2012 Best and Brightest Awards a great success, and congratulations to all of the students. We have now awarded more than $300,000 to more than 900 students. Check back in early 2013 to apply for the eighth annual awards.
Founded in 2006, the Best and Brightest Awards is designed to recognize and honor Leon County’s excelling high school seniors. Unlike most scholarship programs, awards are not based solely on GPA. The varying categories of the Best and Brightest Awards allow students who excel in a particular field to be rewarded for their hard work and dedication. There is also emphasis on community service and civil duty. Two years ago, the Best and Brightest Awards added a new element, the Eighth Grade Essay Contest. This contest is integral in catching the attention of younger students in Leon County and instilling the importance of community service before they begin their high school careers. The scholarship program is a partnership between local Leon County area public and private schools and World Class Schools of Leon County.
