2008 STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Each year, the Washington Chapter of the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) awards several gifts to graduating high school seniors recognized as outstanding students as follows:

• Several one-time awards of $1,000.
• The three top award winners will also receive an additional $1,000 per year for up to an additional three years, if they maintain eligibility, and a “signing incentive” if following undergraduate graduation, the student is employed by DoD or USCG.
• One award recipient will also be recommended to our national organization for consideration for an additional $2,000 Scholarship.

The award is to be used in attaining educational goals.  Winners will be recognized by the Society at a luncheon and presentation ceremony in April/May 2008.  Checks will be mailed, in August 2008, directly to the undergraduate institution chosen by the award recipient.

Please advise graduating high school seniors of this program and make copies of the enclosed application as necessary.  There is no limit to the number of applications received from any one high school as long as the applicants meet the criteria.  If you have further questions regarding our program please contact me by e-mail or phone me at the number below.
