Gordon Armstrong
Memorial Scholarships
|
The NBAAC has a scholarship
program, which awards successful applicants a one-time extended learning
scholarship. This is
available to members, their children or grandchildren; however, the
member, parents, or grandparents must have a membership in good standing
at the time of application. The
amount of the scholarship is determined each year at a provincial meeting.
The following items must accompany the completed application form:
-
an
official record of the year's marks,
-
a
letter and/or recommendation from a teacher, guidance councillor,
clergy, or employer; the letter can not be from family member or
relative,
-
a
one-page resume, which includes your accomplishments in academic,
sports, arts, etc., participation in youth groups, work experience,
future plans and other pertinent information, and
-
a
copy of the letter of acceptance from an accredited institution.
Scholarship
cheques will be made payable to the institute and the scholarship
recipient.

parents or grandparents as members of the NB Antique Auto Club. The selected recipients for the 2007 Scholarships are:
