<p>The major science awards are obvious and apparent–ISEF, ISTS, Siemens Westinghouse–but what for us, the scholars of the humanities and social sciences?</p>

<li> The John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage Essay Contest</li>
<li> One of the Ayn Rand Institute essay contests</li>
<li> The Peace Essay Contest</li>
<li> National History Day </li>
<li> Scholastic Writing Award</li>
</ol>

<p>Please add to or strike from my list.</p>

<p>Davidson Fellow is for like everything. But yes, it's very prestigious. I did History Day in middle school (didn't win or anything, just a required project). How do you apply for it in high school?</p>
