2010 Scholarship Update
The Silver Caduceus Assn. awards academic scholarships to eligibile applicants based on proven academic ability, exhibited leadership skills, community service, demonstrated personal financial need and other special considerations. The number of scholarships awarded will depend on the amount of money available, normally in the amount of $1,000.00 each.
About Eligibility: 1. Applicants must be a spouse, child, grandchild, great-grandchild, sibling, child or grandchild of a sibling. Exceptions will be considered for those related members of former Army MSC officers who are killed in action or disabled in combat and retired from active duty for those disabling conditions. 2. Applicants are not limited to high school seniors. They may be attending college at the time of application or an adult wanting to attend college for the first time or to continue their education after a break in attendance. Scholarship Applications: 2. Please complete the application in as much detail as possible. Note that the two character reference letters should NOT be from family members. Academic awards and any academic leadership positions should be noted as well as community positions and awards. ROTC participation should also be so noted. 3. We do not conduct personal interviews so we ask that the applicant prepare a biographical statement, not to exceed 2 typed pages. The bio should help the committee better understand the candidate, their family, personal goals and any personal hardships. 4. All applications are reviewed by the Scholarship Committee and recommendations will be made to the Board of Directors for approval.5. Scholarships will be awarded at the 2010 Reunion in Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 2010. Questions regarding the application process may be directed to any member of the Scholarship Committee: George Hammond e-mail ghammondeaglesnest@verizon.net Thanks so much SCA members for your support of this very worthwhile program.
