What does your Stake do for seminary graduation? What kind of awards do they give out? We give out certificates for attendance, reading the text and daily reading, a pin for memorizing 25 scriptures, a trophy for repeating the sm in one sitting to the seminary supervisor, a plaque for memorizing all 100 scripture mastery, and a new quad for those who repeat all 100 sm in one sitting to the seminary supervisor.

Wow — repeating all 100 scripture masteries on cue is awesome! I’ve never heard of that before. Great idea!

I have heard of the President’s Award. You can read about it at John Bushman’s site:

Paula A reported these awards on the Facebook page:

Our stake has the President’s Award for attendance and reading and 100 percent SM.

At oct and April conf we also gave mini prizes for noting SM used by speakers.

Honors students get 80% (?) attendance, read 15 minutes a day for 6 months and know the SM.

We would assign each student a SM scripture and let them make up a clue or situation.

Last four years a few of us worked on and challenged class to memorize the SM!

I would also use the questions in the New Era and ask the students to write an answer using scriptures from present and past years if possible.

We also memorized the first pres and quorum of the 12. Fridays were always a review learning game and service activity day.
