GENERAL INFORMATION
Scholarship candidates are sponsored by local UDC Chapters. Requests made to the Business Office for scholarship information are forwarded to the Second Vice President General, who will contact the Division Second Vice President to contact the appropriate Chapter. Requests must include name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address so that the local Chapter may contact the student and set up an appointment for an initial interview.The scholarship application will be provided to the candidate by the Chapter. (Applications are available only from Chapters.) The Chapter will write a letter of endorsement that will be included with the application. The candidate will submit the completed application along with all required documentation to the Chapter by the Chapter deadline. Chapters set their own deadlines in order for the applications to be received by the Division Second Vice President by the Division deadline. The Division Second Vice President will send the applications to the Second Vice President General by the April 15 General deadline. General Scholarship recipients are selected by a four member Education Committee and the Second Vice President General.
Upon approval of a recipient, the Second Vice President General will send notification to the applicant with a pledge letter stating that the scholarship recipient understands and complies with the rules of the scholarship. The recipient must sign and return the pledge letter to the Second Vice President General.
