WEGGZ Scholarship Grant

One of the goals of our Association is to provide educational assistance to members’ children or his or her dependent(s).  Applications are being accepted from qualified individuals for an educational grant.  The scholarship grant will be considered and may be awarded at the 2009 WEGGZ Meetings (March/April).

Criteria for the grant and the methods for implementation are as follows:

      1. The amount of the grant for a four-year Elementary or Secondary degree will be 10,000.00 Pesos/year (maximum). If an individual is selected, the grant will be issued each year for a maximum of four (4) years or until graduation, whichever occurs first. 

      2. The primary purpose of this grant is to assist a member or their dependent in the payment of tuition and fees while pursuing a primary  or secondary degree at elementary or secondary school  or institution.  The check will be made payable to the Award recipient.

      3. Once selected as a WEGGZ Scholarship Award recipient, the continuation of the grant will be based on the following four items.

       A. Maintaining a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of  

       80%-90%  per school year.

Should the average fall below this minimum, WEGGZ Foundation may request the name of the guidance counselor at the institution in order to obtain additional information upon which to base its determination for continuation.  A probationary period of one school year may be authorized if the GPA drops appreciably below the established standard.

B.   Continuing evidence of financial need.

C.   Continuation of membership      

The qualified scholarship recipient must maintain continuing evidence of active participation in meetings and activities.

D.   Timely submission of enrollment certifications and     grades for subjects taken.

 See A. above.

When the criteria of items A, B, C, & D are received and verified, a scholarship award check will be issued. Should an enrollment be received after the school year is completed, no check will be issued for that school year. It is the responsibility of the scholarship recipient to ensure timely submission of the requested documents for the duration of the scholarship. WEGGZ Foundation will not issue reminders that the materials are due.
