Scholarship Program
Chapter 54 has a long-running scholarship program that provides a $2,500 tuition grant each year to a dependent or grandchild of a SFA Chapter 54 member in good standing. Each year the Chapter Scholarship Committee reviews all applications received and recommends a recipient to the Chapter Executive Committee for final approval.
Applicants must be the dependent spouse, child, or grandchild of a SFA Chapter 54 member (alive or deceased). The applicant must have been accepted by or already attending an accredited college, university, junior college, or vocational institute. This includes postgraduate studies.
