SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
Scholarships of up to $2,000.00 each will be awarded for the Effective Academic School Year. Scholarships will be limited to $2,000.00, or the yearly tuition, whichever is less. The number of individual scholarships and amounts awarded in any year will depend upon financial resources and budgetary constraints of The Two Hundred Club in each year and are awarded solely at the discretion of the club's Board of Trustees.
Applicants will be judged on the basis of financial need, S.A.T. scores, class standing, and citizenship. A professional staff will coordinate the processing of all applications for review and selection by the Scholarship Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees will ultimately approve the scholarship awards.
Announcement of the awards will normally be made at our annual Spring Valor Award Luncheon in May. Tuition payments will be made directly to the institution each semester.
Scholarships are renewable each year upon re-application, proof of academic eligibility and approval of the Scholarship Committee. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to discontinue the scholarship program at any time.
Memorial Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Board of Trustees based upon the needs of the student and family.
