SCHOLARSHIP AWARD The scholarship award will be in the amount of $2,000. The number of awards will be based upon the funds available in the Association’s Scholarship Fund. The UGWA will make every effort to pay all eligible applicants. However, in the event the number of applicants exceeds the available funds, scholarship awards will be based on upon the merit of the applicant, and the selection process will be made by an independent auditor such as the Salt Lake Community College, Office of Financial Aid.
All awards will be made by check payable jointly to the student and the sponsoring member and must be endorsed by both. A maximum of 4 annual scholarships are available to any one applicant unless the applicant is obtaining an advanced degree or furthering their education in a related field to the association at which time they may receive a scholarship for an additional two years, not to exceed a maximum of 6 years total.
DEFERRAL If community/civil service prevents an applicant from timely applying for a current school year, consideration may be given for a future year’s scholarship. The applicant must submit a request and explanation for deferred consideration, along with any supporting documentation, with their completed application. Deferral requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the current sitting UGWA Board.
