I believe the Iowa Chapter still needs an under 30 delegate and several of the groups do not have delegates. Charlie Winterwood SIERRA SUMMIT SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION The Club has received a $10,000 scholarship donation that will allow registered Summit delegates to help offset some of the costs, especially travel. We are therefore able to offer 40 scholarships in the amount of $250 to qualified delegates FOR AIR FARE ONLY. The Scholarship Committee will give FIRST PRIORITY to Under 30's delegates. Scholarship funds will be used for air fare by the recipient when making reservations through Beyond the Bay Travel. The cost of airfare over the $250 limit must be paid for by the recipient. Scholarship funds will be paid directly to Beyond the Bay, not to Chapters, Groups, or individual delegates. Only if the recipient has already bought and paid for their airline ticket and a national reimbursement request has been submitted will payment be made to an individual. Scholarships will be awarded on a need basis. Criteria that will be considered include; whether funds have already been allocated by Chapters/Groups/National entities, economic costs/needs of the delegate while attending the summit and travel logistics. Applications should be returned NO LATER THAN JULY 29, 2005 via email to the Scholarship Committee's staff support member Emily McFarland at [log in to unmask] . The scholarship committee will notify recipients no later than August 5, 2005. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS Applications should be made by individual delegates; however Chapters, Groups or National entities may make application on behalf of a delegate. All applicants MUST be registered delegates to the Summit. Thank You Scholarship Committee Members: Richard Miller - San Diego Chapter Mary Grisco ?
