YOUNG PATRIOT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Idaho Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States has established the Young Patriot Scholarship Program for all eligible persons. Our goal is to award two 1500.00 dollar scholarships this year. The deadline to apply is August 5, 2010.
Eligibility
1. EANGUS members
2. Dependent unmarried sons and daughters of EANGUS members
3. Spouses of EANGUS members
4. Unmarried spouses and unmarried dependent sons and daughters of deceased EANGUS members who were in good standing at the time of their death.
EANGUS member applicants, parent or guardian of unmarried sons and daughters who are applicants and members whose spouse is an applicant, must have at least one (1) year remaining on his/her enlistment following completion of the school year for which application is submitted, or have 20 or more years of military service. Applicants must be enrolled as full-time students at a college, university, trade or business school.
The scholarship will be sent directly to the recipient with the check made payable to the recipient’s school of choice. To receive the award, verifications will be required to the effect that enrollment has commenced. There shall be no consideration whatsoever given because of friendship, rank or grade of applicant, applicant’s parents, or applicant’s spouse. Neither shall the applicant’s geographical place of residence be considered. The award will be made on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and need.
All applications will be accompanied by:
1. An essay about an activity or interest that has been particularly meaningful to you. The essay must be two pages of double spaced, 12 point font.
2. A personal letter from the applicant telling about himself/herself and family.
3. Two (2) letters of recommendation verifying the application and giving specific moral and personal traits (these may be from community leaders, ministers, educators, etc.).
4. One (1) letter of academic reference (should be from a principal, counselor, dean or professor).
5. Photo copy of state and/ or national membership card (parent, spouse or yours, if you are a member).
If the recipient does not complete the school term for which the scholarship it awarded, due to any cause other than sickness, injury, or deployment, the recipient will refund the award to the Idaho Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States within sixty (60) days from the date enrollment was terminated.
All scholarship applications will be sent to the scholarship chairman or the person designated by the Idaho EANGUS President. Each application will be reviewed for completeness and must include all of the required material.
The deadline date for all applications for scholarship will be observed in all instances.
The composition of the YOUNG PATRIOT Scholarship Committee will be made up of designated members appointed by the EANGUS President as specified in the current by-laws.
Deadline for Young Patriot Scholarship is August 5th, 2010
