Scholarship Foundation 2008/2009
Awards
CW4 (Ret) Robert D. Scott
The USAWOA Scholarship
Foundation’s Selection Committee worked very hard on Saturday 28 June 2008 and
completed the review of the applications we received for scholarships. I want
to thank CW4(R) Kenneth “Pete” Hill, Committee Chairman, CW3 Jack Duteil,
CW2(R) Benjamin F. Gottfried and CW4(R) William R. Buss for their yeomen’s
service in evaluating and rank ordering the applicants. This is not a simple
task and it grows in complexity each year as the submissions become more
detailed and complex.
Through the generosity of
many folks this year we are able to provide several different scholarships.
We are awarding four Allnatt Memorial Scholarships, one 1st Lt.
Thomas Martin Memorial Scholarship funded by CW4 Candis and SGM (Ret) Ed
Martin, one CW4 John W. Engeman Memorial Scholarship funded by family and
friends of CW4 John Engeman, and four USAWOA Foundation Regular Scholarships.
That is a total of ten (10) $1,000.00 awards.
