Scholarship Grant Program
In keeping with the Association's
broader objectives, it was decided at the 1979 Annual Meeting to establish
the Hartwells of America Scholarship Fund.The first awards were made for
the 1980-1981 academic year and since have ranged in amounts from $100
to $500, depending on the funds available and the number of applicants.
Eligibility
Any child of a parent surnamed Hartwell,or
any lineal descendant of William of Concord,Massachusetts (1613-1690) who
will be enrolled as a student in any post-secondary school degree program,
full or part time, is invited to apply.Selections among applicants will
be based on financial need, although that is neither the sole nor necessarily
the primary criterion.In selecting the deserving applicant or applicants,
the Scholarship Committee shall give consideration as well to the applicants
biographical information and such other factors as in its descretion it
deems warranted. Any information contained in an application shall be considered
only by the scholarship committee and shall otherwise remain confidential.
It is not required that an applicant
attend the Annual Meeting in order to be eligible (although new Hartwells are
always welcomed). If a recipient will be unable to attend,however,his or her
award will be conditioned upon his or her agreeing to write to the Association,
before the Annual Meeting next following the award, and describe in what manner
the scholarship benefitted the recipient during the school year.
Restrictions
Awards
under the Hartwells of America Scholarship Grant Program are
intended to be one-time grants. Therefore, only one scholarship will be awarded
to an individual during their post-secondary studies.
Scholarship grants are available only
to those applicants whose dues to the Hartwells of America Association are paid
currently as of the date of the Reunion at which the grants are awarded or to
those applicants whose parent or grandparent has been a duly paid up member
of the Association for five consecutive years ending as of the date of the Reunion
at which the grants are awarded.
