VICKI WEBB NELSON MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

This Department scholarship was set up in 1969, and in June 1970 was named after Vicki Webb-Nelson, the daughter of Past Department President Sandy Webb (1972-73). Each year we pay tribute to the memory of this sister by offering a scholarship to a qualified High School senior who would like to further their education.

VALUE

One scholarship of $1,000 is available to a high school senior graduate of a State of Alaska Certified High School Program or with the equivalent of college entrance requirement.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicant shall be a resident of the State of Alaska and be enrolled as a senior in, or graduate from, a State of Alaska Certified High School Program (including HomeSchool). The recipient may accept another scholarship of equal or greater value in their own local area.

BASIS OF AWARD

Citizenship shall be a primary requisite. In addition, leadership and financial need shall be considered. A good, average, all-around student, with a desire to further his/her education.

METHOD OF SELECTION

A committee consisting of educators and a member of the VFW Auxiliary will select the State winner from one winning applicant submitted from each Auxiliary in the State of Alaska. An alternate recipient shall be selected should the Department winner decline due to unforeseen circumstances.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Application shall be in letter form addressed to the Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW in the local area, and contain the student’s reason for pursuing a course of study in higher education or learning, and financial reason, if applicable. All letters shall be confidential, to be considered by the local judges, and the committee on the Department level. The winner must be given the name and address of the Department Treasurer so that the school may confirm, by letter, the enrollment of the winner. The Department Treasurer will then issue a check to the school in the winner’s name.

DEADLINE
