Region 7 Fall 2009 Scholarship Results

Congratulations to Brent Lacy who was awarded a scholarship of $1000 at the World Tang Soo Do Association Region 7 Regional Tournament on November 6-7, 2009.

The deadline for the Spring scholarship award cycle has passed. The applications are currently under consideration and awards will be announced at the Region 7 Spring Tournament on May 15, 2010. Submissions for the Fall scholarship award cycle are currently being accepted. The deadline is June 30, 2010 with awards to be announced at our 2010 Regional Tournament, November 12-13, 2010.

The World Tang Soo Do Foundation and Region 7 are dedicated in our support of continuing education for our respective members. We believe, very strongly, in giving back to our membership base via the facilitation of a bi-annual scholarship award program. This program is open to all active members who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate or doctorate programs.

Applications for the bi-annual award cycles are due to the Region 7 Scholarship Chairperson by June 30th and December 31st of each calendar year. Applications must be either received or post marked by the dates above in order to be considered. Normally, Region 7 selects two award winners per cycle period. In addition, the Region 7 Board of Directors reserves the right to either increase or decrease the number of scholarship award winners on a periodic basis.

Some of basic criteria that students must have in order to be considered include, but are not limited to the following:

- Have completed at least one year of training at your respective studio or club

- Be a member in good standing with the WTSDA

- Have a written letter of enrollment verification from the college or university being attended

- Have a minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale

Please discuss the application process with your chief instructor. Application documents can be downloaded by clicking this link. Finally, students are encouraged to apply more than once as scholarship awards may be received by the same individual(s) as they progress through the various continuing education programs listed above.
