APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP

8/11/2017

 
Don't forget to apply for out local scholarship offering. We typically only see a few applications and the scholarship awards have historically ranged between $1000 to $1500. Last year, our chapter gave the most scholarships (4) and the most award money ($6,000) than we were able to in a decade. All it takes is a cover letter and resume to apply.
