AOWCGWA

 COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

2007-2008

The ARMY OFFICERS’ WIVES’ CLUB of the Greater Washington Area will award academic scholarships, up to a maximum of $2,000 each, to sons or daughters of active-duty, retired, or deceased U.S. ARMY personnel.  The applicant will be enrolled in a full or part-time accredited post-secondary education program for the 2007-2008 academic year.  The award will be made on the basis of scholastic merit and community involvement.  The applicant or sponsor must reside in the Greater Washington Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area.  THE AOWCGWA SCHOLARSHIP WILL BE AWARDED TO THE SAME INDIVIDUAL ONLY ONCE IN THIS CATEGORY.

Those students accepting a service academy appointment, or any other full scholarship may not accept the AOWCGWA award.  Also, an applicant who receives an AOWCGWA scholarship and later becomes eligible for and accepts a scholarship in the aforementioned categories must forego the AOWCGWA award. And I understand that I may not defer this award to a future academic year, but I may reapply in the future for a new scholarship. In either case, the award will then be granted to the leading alternate.
