- Welcome to the home page
of the WILLIAM C. DEEM/KIWANIS SCIENCE AWARD. This recognition
has been created to honor academic excellence and scholastic
achievement. It is presented annually in May to the top science
student at Jacksonville High School in Jacksonville, Illinois.
The first such award was presented in May, 2002.
-
- As the recipents are about
to take a bold new step into the world of higher education, the
family of William C. Deem and the Kiwanis Club of Jacksonville
are pleased to provide a scholarship check to help defray college
expenses.
-
- This site has been designed
to give background information about this award, the criteria
established for selection of recipients, the people and organizations
which made it possible, the Kiwanis Club which sponsors it and
the man for whom the award has been named.
-
- Boy Scouting was one of
Bill Deem's major interests. When reciting that organization's
oath, a Scout promises to "Do My Best." We charge the
recipients to accept that challenge and continue to strive for
excellence in their future years. By following the example set
by Bill Deem and striving to be the best one can be in every
situation, the recipients' natural abilities will shine forth
even more brightly.
