Bermuda Botanical Society Student Awards for Botanical Sciences
The Bermuda Botanical Society started in 1985 with the Mission Statement: “To encourage and support the study and promotion of the botanical sciences within Bermuda”. It remains our guiding principle to this day.
The Bermuda Botanical Society Student Awards for Botanical Sciences follow through with that mission. The awards honour middle and secondary students who work diligently on personally chosen, botany-related projects during their school year.
Each school is entitled to one award for a solo or group project. The student is recognized with a certificate, a $100 cash award (students in group projects receive an equal share of the cash), and a free membership in the Botanical Society.
