SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Preference will be given to students who have had membership in the Berkeley County Chapter of the IWLA for a minimum of one year. “Membership is defined as having a student membership, or the parent or guardian having membership in the chapter.” Age may not exceed 25 years by the application deadline.

The report is to explain how the scholarship had benefited his/her career development and must include a copy of the student’s cumulative grade-point average. If no graduating seniors apply for the IWLA Scholarships, the committee reserves the right to award these funds to college applicants. The committee also reserves the right to transfer college funds to graduating high school seniors if no college students apply. The committee additionally reserves the right to not award scholarships if no qualified students apply. Scholarship recipients that fail to report will NOT be considered for additional scholarships.
