Top 3 continues scholarship grant program for enlisted personnel Published June 9, 2008 By the Whiteman Top 3 Association WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo., -- The Whiteman Top 3 Association continues their annual program of providing a $250 scholarship grant to Whiteman Air Force Base enlisted members and their families. This year, two individual scholarships will be awarded. In meeting the associations purpose of "taking care of their own troops", the group has formed a scholarship committee to help assist with the ever-increasing financial burden of higher education. The scholarship committee prepares and distributes the applications, convenes the selection board, and ultimately awards the grant to the most deserving students. The funds come from a variety of Whiteman Top 3 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 Air Force Base Education Office. The application package consists of the application form, transcripts from previous classes, and a single-page essay. Application packages are due to the Whiteman Education Office by July 1. 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 (not just active-duty Air Force). For more information, call Master Sgt. Martin Barr at (660) 687-5215.
