<p>If you are starting awards, I would recommend they be for juniors, because as was mentioned, it gives the kids something to put on their applications.</p>
<p>My daughter’s school also had named awards for the best junior year research paper, math student, science student, each (foreign) language student, etc. I thought they were great because even though none except the research paper award came with a financial prize, they did recognize strengths of certain students.</p>
