General: The Ranger Battalions
Association of WWII RBA is seeking qualified candidates who
are descendants (direct or adopted) of WWII Rangers to
compete for one of the $750.00 awards to be applied towards
the chosen applicants' educational needs. The award money
for the successful applicants will be sent directly to the
applicant's educational institution for administration. For
this first year of the program applications for the fall
semester/quarter must be received by 15 July (the date for
subsequent years will be 1 May).
For the spring of 2008 the
deadline will be1 January. The RBA program has joined with
that of the National Ranger Memorial Foundation (NRMF) as
part of the continuing mission to support the Ranger
community, past, present, and future. Endowment fund(s) have
been created to fund the yearly awards to qualified
applicants. The funds will be transferred to the NRMF for
support of the program. While there are strict criteria as
to who may apply, the scholarships will be awarded to
qualified applicants without any preference to race, creed,
color, ethnic origin, or religion. Awards will be made to
promising high school seniors (3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale) who
have been accepted by a state accredited two- or four-year
educational or technical institution. Students already
enrolled in an accredited institution who have demonstrated
academic ability (3.0 GPA) can also compete for the award.
Financial necessity is not a factor in awarding the
scholarships. To
apply, you will need to submit two copies of a completed
application form, - official copies of your last transcript,
- two letters of recommendation from non-family members,
i.e., teachers, coach, clergy, etc. The sender should
mention his/her title or capacity - a short, (two page
maximum) essay covering career goals and aspirations as well
as awards, honors, volunteer activity, etc. Ranking will be
based on all the above. (Note that the program and
requirements of the RBA program are very slightly at
variance with those of the NRMF.) Applications must be
postmarked and received by 1 May for consideration for the
fall quarter or semester and by 1 January for the spring.
Applicants will be notified within six weeks. One copy of
all application materials must be sent to the RBA
Scholarship Committee and one to the NRMF committee at the
following addresses:
RBA Scholarship Committee, c/o Jerry Styles, 2615 Mars Hill
Church Road, Acworth, GA 30101 And one to: Ranger Memorial
Foundation, ATTN: Scholarship Committee, P.O. Box 53369, Ft.
Benning, GA 31955 RBA
Scholarship Committee will make appropriate recommendations
to that of the NRMF for funding. For additional information,
