USCSF Announces Date for the 2025 Constitutional Bowl
Fernandina Beach, FL/March 12, 2025 – The U.S. Constitution Scholarship Foundation (USCSF) announced the date of April 7th for the 2025 Constitution Bowl, an annual competition between all four Nassau County high schools and a home educated team. The annual event will be held at Wildlight Elementary Cafetorium, and doors open at 6:00 pm.
Similar to the old “College Bowl” format, students compete for thousands of dollars in scholarship awards by answering questions about the Founders, Constitution, Amendments and key Supreme Court decisions.
Yulee High School has dominated the Constitution Bowl over the past three years, leading the five-team competition wire-to-wire to claim the title in 2024.
Since the first U.S. Constitution Bowl in 2019, the competitive event occurs after participating students complete USCSF’s University of US afterschool education program.
“A small group of us got together almost ten years ago to form the U.S. Constitution Scholarship Foundation and the University of US. We had a mission to educate high school students and the community about the Constitution and our heritage,” said Howard Pines, dean of the University of US. “Now with nine years of University of US classes behind us, we have given out over $300,000 in scholarships and awards. This year we will give out over $50,000 in scholarships and awards.”
The U.S. Constitution Scholarship Foundation awards each member of the winning team a $2,000 scholarship for the college of their choice. The 2024 Yulee team was coached by Thomas Blake, and team members included Jacob Clayton, Reagan Jeffers, Lyla Johnson and Richard Guo.
All members of the second-place team receive a $1,000 scholarship each year. The 2024 second-place home educated team included Amelia Burbo, Amelia Hawkes, Eva Hawkes and Lauren Walters and was coached by Alyssa Burbo.
Third-place team members are awarded a $250 scholarship each. The 2024 third-place West Nassau team included Amy Cullen, Justin Housend, Hailey Santos and Brody Singley and was coached by Caleb Bryan.
“I am so grateful to the Constitution Bowl and the entire USCSF board giving over $300,000 in scholarships to our students,” said Superintendent of Nassau County Schools Kathy Burns. “More importantly, what it does academically, it’s like an enrichment to what’s already going on in our schools.”
This year, the only way to watch the Constitution Bowl is to attend the event live at 6:00 pm on April 7 at the Wildlight Elementary Auditorium.
