Just saw this on our 4H website:
Youth Incentive Award Program (Entomology – Beetles)
What: The Coleopterists Society provides two cash awards of $150, and up to $200 (Junior Award) and $400 (Senior Award) of equipment credit from the BioQuip Products catalog, plus a one year subscription to the society journal, The Coleopterists Bulletin to recognize young people studying beetles – the most diverse organisms on earth (one out of every 4 animal species is a beetle!)

Application deadline: December 15, 2008
Find out more at: http://www.coleopsoc.org/default.asp?Action=Show_SocietyInfo&ID=Youth
Speaking as a previous recipient (’05), I can say that this is one of the best opportunities for young beetle-o-philes – anyone who is eligible and interested should apply.
Wow! That’s very cool!
There you go folks-an unsolicited testimonial :D
beetles rule!
