WASHINGTON-Army Reservists have another option available to them to help pay for their college education.
Association of the United States Army officials recently announced that candidates may apply now for the school year 2001-2002 Cribbins scholarship. Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, U.S.Army, Retired and AUSA president, instituted the Joseph P. and Helen T. Cribbins Scholarship in honor of its benefactors in 2000.
The $2,000 scholarship is awarded to provide financial assistance to current or former soldiers entering an accredited college or university and pursuing a degree in engineering or a related field. The scholarship will be presented on the basis of academic merit and personal achievement to a soldier serving in the active Army, Army National Guard or U.S. Army Reserve, or who has been honorably discharged from any component of the total Army.
To apply, the applicant must:
* Show that he or she has been accepted as a freshman to an accredited four-year college or university. Those soldiers accepted to a military academy are not eligible.
- Applicants must complete the form and return it to AUSA at the address below no later than Aug. 15, 2001.
Proof of acceptance as a freshman to an accredited four-year college, a transcript of high school (or equivalent) grades and, in the case of a former soldier, a copy of the DD214 must accompany the application.
Joseph Cribbins, acknowledged as one of the foremost experts on aviation logistics, retired from the Army as a civilian employee on Aug. 3, 1992. He retired from the Army in July 1966 after serving in the Pentagon as a specialist on tactical air mobility and logistics. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by AUSA in 1992 for his "fifty-two years of outstanding and exceptional service to the United States Army and his lasting contributions to Army aviation."
