Washington Chapter
2016 Student Award Program
PURPOSE: To recognize outstanding graduating high school seniors for their achievement and to assist
them in accomplishing their career goals.
AWARDS: Each award is a gift of $1,000 to be used in attaining educational goals. Five winners will be
recognized by the Society at a luncheon and presentation ceremony. Scholarship winners will also be
eligible for a “signing incentive” if, following undergraduate graduation, they are employed by DoD or
USCG in a financial management position (05XX Series). The top two award winners will also be
recommended to the national organization for consideration for an additional $2,000 one-time Scholarship.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE AWARD: Applicants must be graduating high school seniors who
intend to continue their education. They must be entering a field of study related to financial operations;
e.g., finance, accounting, economics, business administration, public administration, operations research, or
other related field. Items that will be considered in the evaluation process are: scholastic achievements,
extracurricular activities, leadership roles in those activities, and career goals. Students selected as
recipients of our award who are also awarded full scholarships by the institution they decide to attend will
be recognized for their outstanding achievement, but will no longer be eligible to receive the scholarship
portion of the award. Relationship to a current ASMC-Washington Chapter member will be considered;
however, parental or guardian membership in ASMC is not required.
