Hello everyone,
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to send out
reminders regarding the STARFLEET Scholarship application deadline, so the
deadline is being extended to July 6th.
If you were considering applying for a scholarship and the deadline
slipped past you, please look at applying now. Applications are available
for download at http://sfi.org/Backup/scholarships/
If you need the application emailed to you, please contact me at
scholarships@sfi.org and I will email an application to you.
Scholarships are awarded in amounts of up to $1,000 based on the number of
qualified applicants and the availability of funds.
Applicants must be a member of STARFLEET and must have been a member for at
least one year prior to the application deadline and they must be enrolled
or accepted by a facility of higher learning for the upcoming school year.
The scholarship winners
will be announced at the International Conference this summer.
