THE UNIVERSITY CLUB OF GRAND RAPIDS
The University Club of Grand Rapids Scholarship Foundation has been established for individuals in the West Michigan area who intend to build, support, and serve the West Michigan community after graduation.
The amount of this scholarship is $1000. It may be renewed for three additional, consecutive years upon the completion of a Renewable Application form. The student must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher (or comparable performance) each year for renewal. This comes to a $4000 total over four years.
The scholarship can be applied to university/college, trade schools and other 2 or 4 year after high school programs.
The purpose of this scholarship is to assist students who express a strong desire to build, support, and serve the West Michigan community upon completion of their studies.
I have attached a document with our application to this email. If you could pass this on to your current seniors and homeschoolers in your area that would be greatly appreciated!
