Default Fallen Warrior Scholarship Fund

http://www.patriotguard.org/FallenWa...6/Default.aspx


Fallen Warrior Scholarship Fund

The Patriot Guard Riders is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization strongly supported nationally by volunteers. The Fallen Warrior Scholarship Fund has been established to provide financial assistance in the form of scholarships to US military family members of our Fallen Warriors in their pursuit of higher education. One-year scholarships of a minimum of $2000 are awarded annually, and are limited to studies at accredited educational/technical institutions. Scholarship awards will be made co-payable to the scholarship recipient's institution for payment of tuition, books and supplies. Scholarships are not automatically renewable. Recipients must reapply each year and may receive no more than four annual scholarships.

Applicant Eligibility Requirements

· Must possess a valid military ID card and be the legal dependent of a US military member who died in the line of duty.
· Must intend to make application to or be currently enrolled as a full-time student or minimum of 12 credit/semester hours in an accredited college or trade school, in pursuit of a degree or in a vocational program pursuing certification.
· Must show proof of satisfactory academic progress: A high school diploma with a minimum 2.6 overall GPA based on a 4.0 scale or similar rating of current studies if within the last five years. Official transcripts are required.
· Must provide two letters of recommendation (one to be completed by an education or business professional).
· Must submit an original essay, typed, double spaced and a minimum of 500 and no more than 1000 words answering the following question: "How has facing the challenges presented to you affected your short-term and long-term goals, and how will further education prepare you for what you hope to achieve in the future?" Please retype the question at the top of your essay response and omit your surname so that your essay may be evaluated objectively.
· Must provide a one page resume or list of accomplishments to include past education, training, awards/honors, volunteer and employment experiences, and special interests. Please omit your surname so that your resume may be evaluated objectively.

Selection Process

Applicants must complete and submit the attached application/certification forms along with a current copy (front and back) of their military ID, original essay, resume, and two letters of recommendation. Incomplete packages will not be accepted. Applicants will be selected for scholarship award recommendation based on their eligibility, their commitment to succeed as indicated by academic achievement, personal goals, letters of recommendation and resume, and their original essay response. Scholarship award recommendations and final selection will be at the discretion of the Fallen Warrior Scholarship Committee. Applicant anonymity will be preserved during the selection process.

Please submit all questions to scholarship@patriotguard.org
