High School Awards
Each year, the Camden County Bar Foundation solicits nominations from all Camden County high schools for exemplary students who have an interest in the law or a law-related field. In January, schools are invited to submit the names of deserving candidates. The Foundation’s committee reviews each submission against established criteria and selects the top three honorees—designated as the “Best of the Best”—who receive awards of $2,500 for first place, $1,500 for second place, and $750 for third place. Additional selected recipients each receive a $100 award.
In addition, two special awards—the Hon. M. Allan Vogelson Award and the Charles Foulke Award—are presented to two distinguished students from Camden High School, each in the amount of $300.
