WOW!
WHAT A GREAT CROP OF APPLICANTS THIS YEAR

 

We are very excited at the response this year to our Associations Scholarship program and view it as a good indicator of the viability and health of the NWSA.  The Scholarship Committee is working hard at the moment reviewing nearly 20 application packages submitted by a very talented group of graduating high school seniors and college undergraduates with declared majors in meteorology and other supported degrees. 

 

We have received undergraduate applications from some of the best meteorology programs in the country, Penn State, University of Washington, Florida State, just to name a few.  The committee is facing a real challenge this year with so many excellent students seeking our help. 

 

Currently we only have an approved budget for $10,000.  We want these awards to be meaningful and truly make a difference to the students.  We have requested that the board increase the funds available this year to $25,000 and will hope to see that favorably endorsed in Dallas. 

 

If you have a view of how you want to see your scholarship program run please provide feedback to your chapter or to the committee

Lastly - if you are unable to participate with us in Dallas at the end of April, PLEASE participate by sending in a check to the scholarship fund!  We are working to sustain our program for the next five to 10 years and funding will be our only limitation.
