The Richmond Association Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship
Every spring, the Richmond Association grants a scholarship award comprising a $1000 cash award, a pewter cup, and a certificate to a graduating senior from a Richmond-area high school. Our criteria emphasize academic excellence, well-roundedness, thought-leadership, character, and the quality of a written essay on the value of a liberal arts education to the individual and society. Selection is always difficult because of the exceptional quality and number of seniors who submit applications.
This year's recipient of the Richmond Association Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship is Vanessa Obas. Vanessa graduated from Henrico High School in June. In addition to stellar academic achievement, Vanessa pursued a diverse range of intellectual interests including forensics, life sciences, music, and community service.
Vanessa personifies the standard set by The Phi Beta Kappa Society to recognize those who have "demonstrated intellectual integrity, tolerance for other views, and a broad range of academic interests."
We wish her all the best!
