Student Scholarship Information
Kitty McGuigan Scholarship Award
In 2000, the membership approved the awarding of an annual $1,000 college scholarship, The Kitty McGuigan Memorial Scholarship, to an active member’s son/daughter. Beginning with the 2024 Fall Conference, the award has been increased to $2,000. It will be granted to a student who will be beginning college in the Fall after the Fall Conference. A committee has been formed to review applications for the scholarship. Although awards will be made at the Fall Conference, it is not necessary for you to be in attendance to be considered.
