What are Torch Awards?

The Torch Awards program motivates students to get involved, serve their community and be recognized. For completing activities, recording them in their online resume and submitting them, students earn recognition on the local, regional, state and national level.

What you'll need:

Your first priority should be downloading and reviewing The Torch Awards Handbook for 2008-09. Then, you can log on and start updating your ONLINE Torch Awards résumé. Your USER NAME is your BPA Member ID (your advisor has access to this through the membership registration system). Your PASSWORD, if not provided to you by your advisor, can be set by clicking here.


What advisors can do:

The review process will be improved for the coming year. This will include being able to approve activities more quickly, the ability to carry over students' activities from the previous year, and the ability to designate a student as an official reviewer. Specifics and details will arrive with the 2009-2010 Torch Awards Handbook this September. NOTE: You will need your BPA Member ID to work on your online Torch Awards résumé.
