Ronald Reagan Oratory Competition
Scholarship Sponsored by Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation
Open to students in grades 2 through 12, the Ronald Reagan Oratory Competition is a free opportunity to build public speaking skills and foster civic engagement. This exciting program brings President Reagan's words to life through today's youth.
High School Oratory Competition (Grades 9–12)
Students deliver President Reagan’s words in their own voice and also complete a reflection piece that connects the speech’s themes to their own ideas, experiences, or understanding of America’s story. Participants will submit both their recorded presentation and written reflection through the Learning Management System.
Whether you pick up a paintbrush or step up to speak, this is your chance to explore President Reagan's legacy, sharpen your skills, and celebrate 250 years of America. We can't wait to see what you create.
The top 5 contenders will receive a trip to the Reagan Library for the Finals on July 22-24 with flights and accommodations covered to compete for a $1,000 scholarship prize, along with a discount on future Reagan Education Programs.
