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 laureates are selected by an independent committee composed of members of the VJHS Endowment and representatives of the high school. These scholarships are traditionally awarded during the Endowments’s annual “Vivat Klasika” charity gala concert, held in the pre-Christmas period.
