  • I certify that the information in the application and activity data sheet is accurate to the best of my knowledge, and my essay is entirely my own effort.  I further certify that I am a military dependent in possession of a valid military ID in my name, and I meet all other ESC Scholarship Award eligibility requirements.  Should I accept an ESC Scholarship Award, I acknowledge that the following restrictions apply:  

     

    1) All funds received shall be applied to tuition, books, and/or academic fees at a regionally accredited college or university.  Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office at the school of choice upon receipt of enrollment verification at full-time status and distributed by the financial aid office as needed. Scholarship recipient must provide the ESC with the name and address of the college and their student ID (no later than June 1, 2026). The award, when combined with other scholarships, may not exceed the costs of tuition, books and academic fees. If this occurs, the balance must be returned to the ESC scholarship committee as soon as possible.  Students accepting service academy appointments or full scholarships (tuition, books, and fees) are not eligible to receive an ESC Scholarship Award. If the ESC Scholarship Award recipient later leaves school and is entitled to any refund of tuition or fees, he or she must notify the ESC.  

     

    2) ESC Scholarship Awards must be used within the 2026-2027 school year.  The Scholarship Committee may consider exceptions on an individual basis.  


    3) If an applicant receives a Spouses’ Club scholarship from any other base, they will be ineligible to receive an ESC scholarship (if awarded).   


    4) Should the scholarship applicant violate any of these restrictions, or if eligibility requirements at the time the application was due are not met, recipient and Sponsor agrees to return all award money to the ESC. Relinquished scholarship money will be dispersed at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee.  


    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, I agree that my signature on this form will authorize the Scholarship Chairperson to release copies of my transcripts, scholarship application, social security number, and other auxiliary data to the Scholarship Committee as needed.
