SPJST Scholarship Applications Available September through January Applications and all required information must be submitted to the Home Office Fraternal Department by February 1, 2015. To receive a General Scholarship Application and/or *Leadership Grant Application, please call the SPJST Home Office Fraternal Department at (800) 727-7578 or download an application at www.spjst.org.
One of the many benefits SPJST offers to its members is the Scholarship Program. This year, 47 General Scholarships, 11 Leadership Grants, and two Technical Scholarships were awarded. In addition, at the 2014 State Youth Achievement Day, six District Merit Grants, one State Merit Award, and two Royalty Grants were awarded for a total of 69 scholarships and grants presented in 2014. Since the program’s inception, more than $1.5 million has been awarded. General and Technical Scholarships are funded through SPJST’s annual allocation, through voluntary contributions received from our 100 Pennies Scholarship Fund Drive and memorial donations received throughout the year. The number of scholarships given each year depends on how much we receive in donations and the annual allocation already in force. Donations are tax deductible. Applications for scholarships are sent out from September through January upon request. The Fraternal Department must receive the completed
application and all required information postmarked no later than February 1, 2015. Recipients are announced in April. The following scholarships are available through the scholarship program:
*Must be an active Youth Club member to apply for the Leadership Grant.
· General and Technical Scholarships – For all SPJST members
· Leadership Grants – For active SPJST youth club members – Applicants may only apply for this grant in his/her senior year of high school. (*Note: Active youth club members are strongly encouraged to apply for both the General Scholarship (or Technical Scholarship if attending a technical school) and the Leadership Grant.
All interested SPJST members who wish to apply for a scholarship must meet the following criteria:
· Applicants must have an active SPJST life insurance certificate in force for at least one full year.
