Yes, there have been multiple winners of the Scripps National Spelling Bee who have won the competition more than once. One of the most notable multiple winners is Frank Neuhauser, who won the competition in 1926 and 1927. Other multiple winners include Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee champions, such as Pratyush Buddiga (2002, 2003) and Vanya Shivashankar (2015, 2016).
1987
The Scripps National Spelling Bee began in 1925. That year, the first champion was Frank Neuhauser, a 11-year-old boy from Kentucky who correctly spelled "gladiolus" to win the competition. Since then, the Scripps National Spelling Bee has become an annual tradition and has grown in popularity and prestige.

It does not cost anything for a student to enter a spelling bee. To compete in something like the National Spelling Bee you see on television, a student must win a local competition. Scripps has individual newspapers sponsor students within their publication region. These papers may help offset the cost to participate. These "costs" aren't entry fees--more along the lines of hotel, food, and travel expenses for the student and a chaperone (usually a parent) to stay at the location of the spelling bee.
If your in school all you do is get 100's on every spelling test you have! (I don't study and i get 100's every time!) I was actually in a spelling Bee Oh and learn these words......... photosynthesis psychoanalysis scrupple denominator To participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, you must make sure that your school is enrolled in the organization, by asking your teacher. The steps are: There is usually a class spelling bee, then school spelling bee. Contestants must be between fourth and eighth grade, and below the age of 16 years. After the school bee is usually the school district bee, then county, then regional. After the regional spelling bee, if you qualify, is the Scripps National Spelling Bee. You should study to be in the bee, like recommended above.

Vanna White has not been in school for many years and has children in high school. She does say in Vanna Speaks FAQs "Are you a Good Speller" that she "always aced her spelling tests" and not that she won her school spelling bee, quite a different thing. see related links
