Dear Sir/Madam,
The Janice M. Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in October 2001 by the husband (Abraham) and family members of the late Janice Marie Scott to honor her legacy as an advocate for youth and supporter of community services within the Greater Metropolitan Area of Washington, DC. Mrs. Scott was among the 125 individuals who perished in the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, 2001 when terrorists crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the building of the Pentagon. The Janice M. Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund became an official (501(c) 3) non profit organization in August 2004.
Selections of recipients are based primarily on financial need. Our scholarship program previously has been announced each year on a recurring basis. This procedure will no longer be used after this school year because the necessary information about the scholarship program is now online at http://jmscottmemorialfund.org. We will henceforth have scholarships available for high school seniors unless a notice to discontinue (temporary or permanent) the program is posted on the website. You can find the eligibility requirements; application; criteria sheet, to include the required submission documents; and checklist online at http://jmscottmemorialfund.org that would allow high school seniors to determine their status and if eligible apply for scholarships. Additionally, I have enclosed copies of these documents. Application packets must be received or postmarked on/or before March 31st. They should be sent to: Janice M. Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund, Post Office Box 1023, Springfield, Virginia 22151. The dollar amounts for scholarships normally will be $2,500 (Note the number and amounts of scholarships will be determined annually by the board of directors.) . We will mail all scholarship checks directly to the college or university of the recipients to be credited to their student accounts.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me. My cell phone number is (703) 981-0535 (do not disseminate this telephone number to applicants or parents). The e-mail address is . Thank you.
Sincerely,
Abraham Scott
Chairman, Board of Directors
Janice M. Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund
