Annually the Butte Exchange Club awards approximately $5,000 in scholarships to local high school seniors at its annual Student of the Year and ACE Award Banquet held in February.   These students are then eligible to compete for Exchange Club Regional and National Scholarship awards.  High School Seniors interested in competing in either of these programs should contact their school’s guidance counselor. 


Contestants for the 2008 Awards with members of the Awards Committee.

Each year twelve outstanding high school seniors are selected to compete for two Student of the Year Awards. 

In addition, several high school seniors compete for the ACE Award. The ACE Award stands for Accepting the Challenge of Excellence and is awarded to Butte’s “Turn-Around” student of the year. This award recognizes high school students in Butte who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance sometime during their high school years, and are now eligible for high school graduation.

These "at risk" students have often overcome great physical, emotional or social obstacles, yet few receive recognition. The A.C.E. Award program has two key objectives. First, it helps encourage students to overcome their hardships and get back on track toward a high school diploma. Second, the award recognizes those students who are often overlooked for their accomplishments.

This special recognition serves as a powerful example to all students that hard work and perseverance really do pay.
