Boston Chapter Scholarship Program

Guidelines for the Boston Chapter ISGB 1/2 price scholarship program

• Scholarships are open to any member of the Boston Chapter in good standing
• Opportunities are announced to the membership through an email
• Anyone interested contacts the designated scholarship coordinator before the stated deadline
• All names received by the deadline are entered into the drawing and names are pulled at the next meeting or on the given date. 2 names will be pulled, a primary and an alternate. The primary winner will be contacted and must pay the balance due by the designated due date. If the primary does not acknowlege their win within a week, if the balance is not paid, or if the primary is unable to attend, the scholarship will be awarded to the alternate.
• There is a limit of (1) scholarship or $200.00 (whichever is greater) per member per calendar year.
  
  Note: The person who attends is encouraged to share their experiences by writing something to be posted here on the website.
