Scholarship Application
General Information/Criteria:
Stuttgart Community Spouses' Club (SCSC) scholarships are made possible through SCSC sponsored activities, such as the Thrift Shops and
the Annual Spring Bazaar, in which volunteers from the club and the community devote numerous volunteer working hours. The
Scholarship Committee reviews submissions and determines applicant eligibility and selection criteria. The selection criterion includes
academic achievement, personal essay, community service, community leadership, and work experience. Financial need is not factored into
award consideration. The Scholarship Selection Panel is an independent panel of judges comprised of volunteer military and civilian
members of the Stuttgart Community. Judges are screened for potential conflict of interest and their dependents are not eligible to apply for
a scholarship. Student identity is maintained as anonymous throughout the judging and award determination process. No member of the
SCSC Governing Board is involved in the independent judging process. The Scholarship Committee will determine the number of
scholarships and the monetary value of each scholarship to be awarded based on available funds. The Scholarship Selection Panel will
determine the award winners through an analysis of scores. Submission of an application does not guarantee receipt of a scholarship.
