The scholarship will be sent directly to the recipient with the check made payable to the recipient’s school of choice.  To receive the award, verifications will be required to the effect that enrollment has commenced.

There shall be no consideration whatsoever given because of friendship, rank or grade of applicant, applicant’s parents, or applicant’s spouse.  Neither shall the applicant’s geographical place of residence be considered.  The award will be made on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and need.

All applications will be accompanied by:

5.      Photo copy of state and/ or national membership card (parent, spouse or yours, if you are a member).

If the recipient does not complete the school term for which the scholarship it awarded, due to any cause other than sickness, injury, or deployment the recipient will refund the award to the Idaho Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States within sixty (60) days from the date enrollment was terminated.

All scholarship applications will be sent to the scholarship chairman or the person designated by the Idaho EANGUS President.  Each application will be reviewed for completeness and must include all of the required material.
