SAPA Scholarship Application 2010

2010 Scholarship Information

Since its inception, the SAPA Scholarship Program has provided over $2,500 to the young performers of our activity who pursue academic excellence.

All groups who participate in the SAPA Championships are invited to submit one applicant from their unit who are high school seniors or already enrolled in college. A committee of administrators, instructors and judges review dozens of these applications for these scholarships and select students who stand out in qualities of academic, artistic and personal achievements.

Applications for 2010 Scholarships must be submitted by mail to SAPA NO LATER THAN MARCH 1, 2010 (post mark date). All required paperwork must accompany the Scholarship Application Form.

The SAPA Executive Board has established the following guidelines regarding the scholarship(s).

1. The recipient must be in his/her senior year of high school or already attending a college/university.

2. The recipient must attend a college or university; not a trade school or vocational school.

3. The recipient must be an active marching member of a unit who will compete in the 2010 SAPA Championships in Macon Georgia.

4. Each unit may submit only one nominee. Directors are asked to write a short recommendation letter mailed separately to the scholarship committee.

5. Scholarship(s) granted will be paid by check written to his/her university. Scholarship money may be used by the student for tuition, books, and room/board. Any unused scholarship monies, either from the student leaving the education establishment before completing his/her degree or upon the student completing and receiving his/her degree, will be returned to SAPA.

6. Scholarships granted will not be less than $500.00 per recipient.

7. The scholarship will be granted for one year only, but recipients may re-apply the next year if he/she remains active with a unit and meets all the other requirements.

8. Selections will be made by a committee appointed by the SAPA Executive Board, whose decisions will be final.
