A partnership between the Green Historical Society and Green High School

---

The Green Historical Society will award one scholarship annually to a Green High School student who researches a local history topic and prepares a winning presentation of their research findings.  The scholarship award for 2012 will be a $1000 scholarship plus a $100 cash-in-hand award.  The winner will also receive a lifetime membership to the Green Historical Society.  See contest eligibility requirements.

The Green Historical Society encourages all students considering participating in the research competition to incorporate technology in the storing of research materials and in the manner of presenting their research.

Project Overview

Prepared by Mark Tomecko

·         All Green High School students have the opportunity to research a topic of their choosing, to present their research findings, and to compete for a scholarship and cash prize.

·         The research project must reflect how our local history (Green, Summit County, Northeast Ohio) is reflective of a broader trend in American history.  (See the back for a short list of research topics and ideas.)

·         Students may work on their project throughout their high school career, and may submit the same project (or a different one) to the scholarship committee each year for a chance to win.

·         Students will receive assistance and encouragement throughout their research from Green High School and Green Historical Society staff; however, students are ultimately responsible for all of the work in researching and presenting their topic.

·         This research project can also be developed into an Eagle Scout or History Day project, and would be impressive on college admissions and scholarship applications.
