Scholarships
The Wiesbaden Community Spouses’ Club (WCSC) is excited that you are applying for one of our scholarships! The WCSC prides itself on helping individuals within the community reach their educational goals by providing financial assistance through the scholarship program.
While the scholarship process is very competitive, please keep in mind that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. We are looking for academically well-rounded students who have made a positive contribution to our military community by virtue of their commitment to the ideals of leadership, community involvement, and public service. All information provided will be considered and scored fairly in a blind process by a scoring committee. The scoring committee makes a concerted effort to be consistent and objective. Committee members are not privy to applicants identifying information until award decisions are made.
Please read the directions carefully. Feel free to contact Lisa Bishop, Scholarship Chair at scholarshipwcspousesclub@gmail.com if you have any questions about the application.
The application deadline is February 25, 2021. Please review the eligibility requirements and checklist items below to ensure your application is complete. Ineligible or incomplete applications will not be considered. Good luck to you! The Scholarship Committee is looking forward to awarding many scholarships this year!
PURPOSE:

Applicant must have graduated from an accredited high school or hold a GED equivalent. If applicant is presently enrolled in college, he or she must be in a degree or re-certification program at an accredited college, university, or vocational school. Persons awarded full scholarships (e.g. ROTC) or attending service academies are ineligible.
AWARDS:
Scholarships will be paid directly to the school of choice upon written notification of enrollment. Scholarships will be awarded for room and board, tuition, books, and educational fees. The award remains valid until February 27, 2023. Any unused amount is returned to the WCSC Scholarship Fund. All awardees are responsible for ensuring that the proper billing information appears on the application. The WCSC Scholarship Fund is not responsible for late fees due to incorrect billing information.
