Description

The Doris L. Kays Scholarship was endowed by both the San Antonio Classical Society and the Texas State Junior Classical League. This scholarship honors Mrs. Doris L. Kays, who passed away in 2007. Before her passing, Mrs. Kays served for many years as one of the State Chairs for TSJCL and was responsible for bringing Certamen to the state of Texas when she hosted the 1st Certamen tournament in the state of Texas at MacArthur High School in San Antonio. This scholarship honors Mrs. Kays' dedication to Classics, her students, and the education profession. This award is for NJCL members and can be paid directly to the recipient for use on any education-related expenses or can be paid to the school. Special consideration will also be given to those applicants who intend to teach Latin, Greek, or the Classical Humanities. The award will be used for educational expenses after graduation from high school. Applicants must submit letters of recommendation from two adults - their Latin/Greek/ancient studies teacher and one other adult who knows them well. Recommendations will be submitted through a separate link. Applicants may visit the scholarship's website or contact the NJCL Programs & Scholastic Services Chair for more information.
