Standards for the Central New York Chapter #103
Vietnam Veterans of America Scholarship Award
This memorandum shall serve as the standards for applicants to submit their name for an opportunity to receive a $1,000.00 scholarship for full time students or be one of two possible recipients of a $250.00 scholarship for part time students. The rules are as follows:
An applicant must be a member of the Central New York Chapter #103 Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) in good standing for a period of not less than one year prior to application or the child or the grandchild of said member. (Good standing shall mean a member whose dues are current and meets the standards set by the VVA National Organization to be a member. Proof of DD-214 is required prior to receiving a Scholarship.)
The $1,000 scholarship is designed to assist a student who is registered or accepted to an accredited University, College or Technical School as a full time matriculated student. Proof must be furnished of the status of the student in regards to registration or acceptance.
The two $250 scholarships are designed to be offered to students attending as a part time student at any accredited University, College or Technical School. The course load must be for a least one subject per semester to include the summer semester. Proof of course registration of the student must be furnished to establish the status of the students.
The applicants for either scholarship must fill out a standard application form furnished by Chapter #103 and submit the proof previously stated. This application must be given or mailed to any member of the Executive Board or Board of Directors or mailed to our address prior to the February Membership Meeting of the year the request for scholarship is for (meetings are held of the third Thursday of every month) so that it can be reviewed and processed in a timely manner.
All applications shall be given a distinct and individual number and divided into full or part time files. The number shall serve as the number to be placed in the lottery drawing for the three scholarships which shall be made during the March Membership Meeting and the results posted. The winners shall be notified as soon as possible.
The scholarships shall be awarded at the Annual Installation Banquet.
In the event that there are no applications then the scholarships shall be withdrawn for that year. It is the right of Chapter #103 to grant more scholarships in the event that is becomes desirable or necessary or to withdraw scholarships for the same reasons but the amount of scholarship monies per scholarship remains unchanged. No recipient can apply for further scholarships. They may then directly apply for a grant from Chapter #103 or the Central New York Vietnam Veterans Foundation.
