2016 Scholarship Applications – Due NLT 2 May 2016!

Chapter Members are reminded that the suspense for submitting applications for the Chapter Member Scholarship is rapidly approaching and are due on 2 May 2016. At least one $1,000 scholarship award is presented annually to a CB/CV AUSA Chapter member or to a Chapter member’s dependent.

Although a minimum of one $1000 scholarship will be awarded, other applicants may be recommended for an award by the Panel and voted on by the AUSA Chapter Board. Last year, five other scholarships (all for $500 each) were also awarded in addition to the $1000 scholarship. A total of six scholarships were awarded out of seven total applicants for a total amount of $3500.

The Chapter Board will convene a scholarship panel composed of AUSA members in good standing who will review the applications and recommend a primary and alternate recipients. Final approval will rest with the Chapter Board. The selections will be based upon demonstrated leadership qualities, academic qualifications and demonstrated potential using objective criteria and the subjective judgment of the Panel and Board. The goal is the selection of a well-rounded individual who combines academic excellence with leadership qualities who has high potential as a future civic or military leader.

The eligibility criteria for the scholarship are as follows:

1. The applicant must be a member of CB/CV AUSA Chapter, or be a dependent of a member of the Chapter.

2. The applicant must be a high school senior or an undergraduate freshman accepted to attend or attending a college or university leading to an undergraduate degree.

3. The applicant must complete and return the enclosed application together with the three specified attachments no later than May 2, 2016.
