For many years the SAR has recognized the many common bonds of purpose and principles shared by the SAR and the Boy Scouts of America. You young men achieving the rank of Eagle Scout have demonstrated your belief in those common principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is your invitation to participate in this recognition and scholarship program.  There are three levels at which you might receive recognition and\/or monetary awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Local Chapter – Many local chapters of the SAR present certificates, medals, and in some cases, cash awards, to\u00a0the winners of competition within a chapter territory or a local Boy Scout Council\u00a0area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. State – Each state, and the District of Columbia, selects a winner who receives a handsome Eagle Trophy.\u00a0\u00a0Many states present a cash award as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. National – State winners\u2019 applications are submitted to the SAR National Eagle Scout Committee which meets in February or March of each year to judge state winner entries, and from them to select the three\u00a0top National Scholarship winners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The top winner receives a $10,000 Scholarship award and is brought as our guest to the National SAR Congress, held in June or July each year, where the award is made and the Eagle presents his essay to the assembly.  The first runner-up receives a $6,000 award, and the second runner-up receives $4,000, presented at State Society meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/i>\u200bWho may apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This annual competition is conducted on a calendar year basis. Any Eagle Scout is eligible to apply who is still registered actively in a Scout unit, provided that he does not reach is 19th birthday in the calendar year of the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    College plans do not have to be completed in order to receive the cash scholarship. You may apply in more than one year if you meet the age requirements, but no more than $10,000 total may be granted to any one Eagle Scout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
