The Peace Scholarship of the Cooperating Congregations of Burlington

 

(Presbyterian Church; St. Malachy's Church; St. Margaret's Church;

St. Mark's Episcopal Church; Temple Shalom Emeth; United Church of Christ, Congregational)

 

 

Purpose:

 

            This award is for up to two graduating high school seniors who have contributed in significant ways to establishing a climate of understanding, mutual acceptance, and resolution of conflict within and beyond their school.  They have succeeded in raising awareness of the importance of these values at a time when preventing violence and accepting differences are of vital importance.

 

 

 

Selection guidelines:

This scholarship is for student peacemakers.  We will consider only nominees for whom specific activities in the area of peacemaking, or contributions to the cause of peaceful relations in school and/or community, are described.  We are specifically interested in peace-promoting activities rather than general community service.

 

            This is a unique scholarship, emphasizing character and achievement in an area with fewer measurable standards than most others.  We hope that no student would be precluded from consideration either because of receipt of other awards, or of lack of qualifications for other awards.

 

            It is not intended that academic superiority be a criterion for selection.  Students who are not outstanding in other areas should not be overlooked.

 

            The further education toward which a student aspires may be of any nature.

 

            It is suggested that nominees might have contributed either to programs relating to multicultural, racial, or sexual understanding, or to peer mediation.  However, it is our hope that any student who has shown character in a particular act or course of action, or pattern of behavior, regardless of connection to particular programs, be considered for this award.
