Purpose
Section C-2B has created a scholarship fund to help youth arrowmen participate in Order of the Arrow leadership opportunities. The scholarship’s sole purpose is to benefit any youth arrowman who chooses to attend a National Leadership Seminar (NLS), any one of the Order of the Arrow Trail Crew programs at a national high adventure base during a calendar year, work as staff at an Arrow Corps5 Service Project, Philbreak, or serve as part of the OA Service Corps at a National Jamboree or NOAC.
Scholarship Details
The number of scholarships will be determined from the funds derived form the sale of the Section C-2B conclave fundraiser sets, as well as any other funds set aside by the section for the purpose of scholarships, with a goal of twenty (20) scholarships per year. No more than ten individuals from any one lodge will be allowed to receive a scholarship in any given year.
Scholarships will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis until the funds allotted for the scholarships have been awarded. Any funds remaining at the end of the calendar year will remain in the fund to be used in the following year.
Aplications will be turned into the Scholarship Administrator (Associate Section Advisor) for review. Scholarships will be awarded at the recommendation of the Administrator and the Section Advisor, who will then direct the Section Staff Advisor to issue the scholarship.
This scholarship is a matching grant scholarship, meaning that the section will match, up to $50.00, the amount of the grant awarded from the arrowman’s lodge or council. The combined scholarship/campership shall not exceed the total amount of the registration fee. Scholarships are awarded after the specified event has been attended by the arrowman.
It is encouraged that applicants have a commitment from the local council or lodge for partial funding, as consideration will be given to arrowmen who have obtained funding from the lodge or the council as well.
Requirements:
1. Only BSA registered, dues paying youth arrowmen may apply for a scholarship. A youth may not apply for more than one campership per calendar year.
2. To apply for a scholarship, applicants must submit to the Scholarship Administrator, a scholarship application completely filled out, which includes all required signatures.
3. Complete application must be submitted no later than 30 days after completion of event.
