A record number of eleven USAWOA family members were selected to receive scholarships under the USAWOA Family Member Scholarship Program for the school year that begins this fall. Another record was set with some 41 family members competing for a scholarship award.

We also want to thank John and Jeanne Allnatt, the Clayburn Family, the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, and all the USAWOA members who support the fund raising which makes these scholarships possible.
