SHBP Scholarship deadline: April 15 (12/19)

Click here for a (PDF) printable form to request the 2007 SIU Scholarship Program booklet.

No matter an individual’s qualifications or needs, no one can be awarded an SIU scholarship without filling out an application and mailing it to the Seafarers Health and Benefits Plan by April 15.

That leaves roughly three months in which to apply for one of the eight scholarships being given in 2007 so don’t put it off any longer.

First, obtain a scholarship program booklet, which spells out eligibility requirements and procedures for applying. It also includes a copy of the application form. You may get the booklet in any SIU hall or by requesting one by completing the coupon at the link above and mailing to the address listed.

The application form is very straightforward. But the entire application package contains a number of additional items that must accompany the form and may take a little time to collect. They include: autobiographical statement, photograph, certified copy of birth certificate, high school transcript and certification of graduation or official copy of higher school equivalency scores, college transcript, letters of reference and SAT or ACT results.

This is a great opportunity for Seafarers or their dependents who would like to continue with their education at the college level.

Don’t delay. Send for your program booklet today.
