CONDITIONS Essays, transcripts, and completed applications must be delivered to Gulf Credit Union’s Groves office no later than March 1, 2022. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure timely delivery of the entry. The awards are intended to help pay for tuition. Funds will be disbursed directly to the recipient’s account, provided the student submits proof of enrollment. All entries become the property of Gulf Credit Union. Essays, photos of winners, and other information may be published as deemed
appropriate without further consent of the student applicant or parent/guardian. Applicants’ identities will be withheld from the judges until finalists are selected. The Scholarship Committee may conduct personal interviews of all finalists on a preset date, at which time the application will be used to establish the general character of the applicants and to help determine the winners. Winners must claim their scholarship by October 1, 2022.
Students who submit an application certify the information provided on the application is correct to the best of their knowledge. Falsification of information will automatically disqualify a student from receiving any scholarships.
