Joseph A. Clapp Memorial Scholarship

Through a generous financial bequest from Joseph A. Clapp, the Session of Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church established an endowment fund.  The proceeds of this endowment are to be awarded in scholarship assistance to qualified applicants who wish to further their education in pursuit of professional goals.

The number of annual scholarships and the amount of each scholarship may vary each year depending upon the number of applicants and amount of funds available from the Fund.  Applicants must reapply each year to be eligible for consideration.

Covered Expenses:  Scholarship funds may be used to cover tuition, books, and housing.  Funds will be paid directly to the educational institution or provider, not to the student.

The following items must accompany the application:

Official copy of transcript for previous two years coursework, with grades

A one-page essay describing student's future plans and goals for his/her education, including plan of study and why student is pursuing this field

Two letters of recommendation from individuals not related to the student.  (One of these should come from a teacher/instructor or employer)

Financial data to illustrate need (e.g. copy of last reporting of income to IRS)

 

All information submitted as part of the application process will remain confidential and used solely for the purposes of internal review of applicants.
