one of the three scholarships the Post has available. Applications must be
postmarked by Friday, April 3rd, 2008.
If you know someone who deserves of a
scholarship, please urge the young person to apply for one the Post’s $1500
scholarships. Applicants are rated in a number of areas including
academics, school activities, and community activities. There are two
categories of scholarships described as follows:
-
Category I - High school seniors and
Post-secondary students, regardless of discipline, who are children,
grandchildren, or siblings, of members of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Post.
Sponsoring members must be a SAME Minneapolis-Saint Paul Post member for the
current year and have been a member of the Post for a minimum of at least
one year prior to the current year. Applicants must be registered as
full-time post-secondary students in the fall of the year of selection.
-
Category II - All Student Members of the
SAME Minneapolis-Saint Paul Post who will be registered as full-time
post-secondary students in the fall of the year of selection. Applicants
under this category must be registered through SAME as a Student Member;
student memberships are free for full-time undergraduates at an accredited
college or university, or high school students. At least one of the
scholarships in this category will be awarded to a student in an
engineering, science, or technology-related field.
Typically three (3) scholarships are awarded. If there are worthy applicants in both categories, two scholarships
will be awarded in Category I and one scholarship will be awarded in Category
