Whiteman Top Three Announces Scholarship Grant Published April 7, 2009 By Whiteman Top Three WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. -- The Whiteman Top Three Association will award their annual program providing a $300 scholarship grant to Whiteman Air Force Base enlisted members and their families. Three individual scholarships will be awarded. In meeting the association's purpose of "taking care of their own troops," the group has formed a scholarship committee to assist with the ever-increasing financial burden of higher education. The scholarship committee prepares and distributes the applications, convenes the selection board and awards grants to the most deserving students. The funds come from a variety of Whiteman Top Three fund raising activities such as die cast model sales, POW/MIA bracelet sales, and other community events. Applications for the scholarship grant are available at the Whiteman Education Office or from the Whiteman network at: https://wwwmil.whiteman.af.mil/top3/Scholarships.shtml. The application package consists of the application form, transcripts from previous classes and a single-page essay. Application packages are due to the Education Office by May 15. The selection board reviews the applications, and selects a winner based on educational goals, scholastic achievement and financial need. The scholarship program is open to all enlisted members of the Whiteman community. For more information call Senior Master Sgt. Daniel DeMers at 687-7126.
