NWGS Scholarship Program
The NWGS has historically awarded student scholarships annually to students at 2-year and 4-year colleges. During COVID, as with many things, our scholarship program was put on hold. We are delighted to resume our scholarship program. This year, 2023, we will be soliciting scholarship applications in the spring for $1000 scholarship awards to be distributed directly to the awardee’s school for fall 2023 tuition.
We will award two scholarships, with a goal to support students at both 2-year and 4-year institutions. Please apply if you are a student in either category.
Applications will be accepted from now until the end of May for awards in the Fall of 2023. We will issue monies directly to the school to support student tuition before the Fall Quarter/Semester and honor the awardees at our first Fall meeting on the second Tuesday in October.
