LEGACY
SCHOLARSHIPS
2012 MGCSA LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
The Program:
The Minnesota Golf Course Superintendents’ Association offers a
scholarship program designed to assist children and grandchildren of
Class AA, A, SM, C, D, Associate and Affiliate members. The MGCSA
provides scholarships to students attending college or vocational
programs at any accredited post-secondary institution. The program is
independently managed by Scholarship America, a national non-profit
student aid service organization. Awards will be granted without regard
to race, color, creed, religion, sex, disability, national origin or
financial need.
Selection of Recipients:
Scholarship
recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, potential to
succeed, leadership and participation in school and community
activities, honors, work experience, a statement of education and
career goals and an outside appraisal. Selection of recipients is made
by Scholarship Management Services. In no instance does any member of
the MGCSA play a part in the selection. Applicants will be notified by
the end of July whether they have been awarded or denied a scholarship.
Eligibility:
Applicants
for the MGCSA Legacy Scholarships must be: children/grandchildren of
Class AA, A, SM, C, D, Associate or Affiliate members who have
been members of the MGCSA at least five years; High school
seniors or graduates who plan to enroll or students who are already
enrolled in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited
two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school,
and under 23 years of age.
Awards:
Three
awards will be given to children and grandchildren of Class AA, A, SM
and C members. One award of $1,500 in the name of Joseph S. Garske will
be given to the highest evaluated applicant. That award will be
renewable for one year contingent upon full- time enrollment and
satisfactory academic performance. One other $1,000 award will be
given to other qualified applicants from this
group. One $1,000 award will be available to children and grandchildren
of Class D, Associate and Affiliate members. These awards are not
renewable. However, students may reapply to the program each year they
meet eligibility requirements. Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Obligations:
Recipients
have no obligation to the MGCSA or its members. They are, however,
required to supply Scholarship Management Services with current
transcripts and to notify Scholarship Management Services of any
changes of address, school enrollment or other relevant information.
Except as described in this brochure, no obligation is assumed by the
MGCSA.
Application Deadline: June 1, 2012.
