YCOG Book Award

 

Every year, the Yale Club of Georgia recognizes outstanding juniors in local high schools by presenting books to them.  This program helps to:

  • Bring Yale’s name to awards assemblies each year where the most outstanding students, their parents and key teachers, administrators and guidance counselors are present.
  • Strengthen the reputation of secondary schools as learning centers that seek to prepare students for Yale.
  • Ensure that the Yale award is considered the most important one to receive each year (the “gold medal” academic award).
  • Encourage students who had not previously considered themselves likely candidates for Yale or similar universities to widen their horizons.
  • Let the community share the excitement through photographs and description of the award in local papers and websites.
  • Offer an opportunity for conversation between alumni and Book Award recipients.
  • Deliver with the book two important memorabilia:
    • A Yale bookplate inscribed with the student’s name, date of award, and Yale Club of GA sponsorship.
    • A brochure portraying Yale’s excellence and student life.
