The Youth Incentive Award of The Coleopterists Society aims to recognize and support young people studying beetles. The objectives of the Youth Incentive Award are to:

• provide encouragement and assistance to young beetle enthusiasts (grades 7–12).
• promote the study of beetles, the most diverse group of insects, as a rewarding lifelong avocation or career.
• provide opportunities for young people to develop important life skills such as leadership, cooperation, communication, planning and conducting a scientific study, grant writing, and managing funds.
• provide financial support to enrich activities or projects.

Please email the Chair of the Youth Incentive Award, David G. Furth, for additional details. Applications should be sent to David G. Furth by email.
