I going to have an award in the" Annual Senior Scholarship and Awards Program" in my high school. I happend to be awarded for "physical science". Now does this really have value or is it just a piece of paper? what do audience think of the person who won an award?

It is an honor; you should be proud of the accomplishment and it will make your family proud. That in itself should make it worthwhile. Secondly, it may help you during the early phases of university, before you have had an opportunity to prove yourself there. Say, for example, that you want to spend the first summer after your freshman year working in a research lab, and you apply for the position along with a number of other freshmen. Presumably you will all have good grades on the general education classes you have had to take in the Fall, but you would have that award behind you to demonstrate sustained achievement in the physical sciences. If, however, what you are asking is if there is any money attached to the award, the answer is probably not. I don't know your high school, but most are giving out awards for the honor, and only the scholarships have money attached.

I used to win a bunch of those every year. It's a piece of paper. I never even bothered putting them on college applications. Usually I thought they all went to the wrong people - I always got the Russian award, and never a science award, but here I am getting a PhD in physics.
