Holocaust Remembrance Project
The Holocaust Remembrance Project is a national essay contest for high school students designed to encourage and promote the study of the Holocaust.
The Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation recognizes the moral imperative of teaching young people about this watershed event, and is honored to provide the resources for the operation of this project.
First-place winning students, teachers, and Holocaust survivors participate in an all-expense paid trip to a leading Holocaust Museum. In previous years, the program held its scholars week in Washington, D.C., to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; last year, the scholar’s week took place in Los Angeles, and this year, the top 10 scholars and chosen educators will travel to South Florida.
Since the project’s inception in 1995, the Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation has awarded more than $1,000,000 in scholarships and prizes. Tens of thousands of high school students have participated as researchers and writers. Selected teachers are asked to join the scholarship week, and are provided with teaching materials and specialized symposia.
Scholarship Awards for First Place Finalists (10 each year) begin at $2,500.00. Each year, special scholarship are awarded by special friends of the Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation.
