Enclosed you will find two applications for the scholarship. One application will be used for Eagle Scouts that have completed their “Boy Scout” Religious Award. The other application is for Eagle Scouts that have NOT completed the religious award. You will need to REVIEW THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIRMENTS on both applications and select the appropriate one. Only one application needs to be completed.
Applications will be accepted at Department Headquarters until the close of business on MARCH 1, 2008. The selected candidate for Vermont will receive a $1,000 Scholarship and with his parents will be honored at the Department of Vermont Convention Banquet, to be held in Brattleboro, Vermont on June 20, 2008.

The National “Eagle Scout of the Year” will be invited to the National Convention to be held in Phoenix Arizona, August 22-28, 2008. WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY! Applications are judged by a committee for completeness/neatness…..!
