Scholarships provide an opportunity to support and encourage exceptionally talented students at the Vilnius Jesuit High School who have distinguished themselves in sports, academics, or the arts. Each year, the recipients are selected by an impartial committee composed of members of the VJHS Endowment and representatives of the high school. These awards are traditionally presented during the Endowment’s annual pre-Christmas charity gala concert, “Vivat Klasika.”
