WAVES NATIONAL COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP

This is the final chance for your sons/daughters, grandsons/ granddaughters or other lineal  descendants to apply for one of  two WAVES National $1,000  scholarships. The eligibility  requirements for those high  school or college young people are set forth below.  At the mid-term WAVES National Board of Directors’ meeting, it was determined that we would award two $1,000 scholarships rather than the one we have been awarding in the past. The names of the scholarships and their topics are: Rear Admiral Grace Hopper Scholarship “Service Women in Combat and Their Impact on National Defense” and Anne Marie Bianchi-Gagnon
Scholarship “Contributions of Sea
Service Women During the War in Korea”. Those young people  applying for these scholarships  may enter one or both contests.  The applications for scholarship  along with qualifying  documents should be mailed to: Jan Roy, Scholarship Contest Chairman, at 1300  Market Avenue, S.W., Grand Rapids, MI 49503.  The deadline is March 15. This deadline will be strictly adhered to, and the postmark may be no later than this date. Put out the word to your relatives  who are eligible for these scholarships. We hope to  have many essays to judge in 2004!

NOTE: Eligibility is open to a relative or lineal descendant of a woman sea service veteran or woman presently serving on active duty or reserves in one of the sea services (U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps or U.S. Coast Guard) who is a high school senior or currently enrolled in college. Definition of a lineal descendant: A blood relative (by birth or legal adoption) of the sea service woman (not their spouse).
