It is once again time for the Erik Gates Memorial Scholarship to be awarded.
Erik was an exemplary member of Tripoli. After launching some humongous rockets, he decided to serve the membership by running for, and being elected as, a directorship.
Erik died in a tragic work-related accident. The scholarship is offered by TRA and by the Gates family as a tribute to his service.
The eligibility requirements and application can be found at: http://www.tripoli.org/ErikGatesScholorship
At the January board meeting, the Board of Directors voted to increase the number of scholarships that could be awarded this year to 3 and set the award amount to $2500 each for this year!
Applicants: Be sure to fill out the application COMPLETELY and follow the requirements. Sadly, in the past we have had a few (very few, thank goodness!) applications that, for example, did not include an ORIGINAL or SCHOOL-CERTIFIED transcript. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
