Fesauai Sagale-Thompson Award Application Form 2026

Veterans, their spouses, children, and extended family members (including parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews) who are Utah residents are eligible to apply for the Fesauai Sagale‑Thompson Award. This is an application—not a nomination—and must be completed by the applicant or, for minors, by a parent or legal guardian. Parents or legal guardians may submit on behalf of minors, and applicants under 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the application. All applications must be submitted by June 30. Previous recipients must wait one full award cycle (one year) before applying again to ensure fair access and broaden the award’s impact within the veteran community. Applications will be evaluated on demonstrated need, urgency, clarity of goals, alignment with the award’s purpose, and the potential impact of the scholarship on the applicant’s progress in education, sports, or business. Award funds must be used directly for education, sports development, or business advancement, including tuition, training or certification costs, equipment, program fees, or startup expenses. Only one application may be submitted per cycle. All winners will be notified on or before July 31, 2026, and may be asked to provide documentation verifying the information submitted. All correspondence and award materials will be generated from the personal details provided, so applicants should ensure accurate spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Awardees may also be asked to share a brief update on how the scholarship supported their goals, helping honor the legacy of Fesauai Sagale‑Thompson and highlight community achievements. The Fesauai Sagale‑Thompson Award does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, or background. Scholarships are contingent on available funding and may be adjusted or withdrawn at any time. Awards are non‑transferable and must be used by the individual selected. Incomplete or inaccurate applications may not be considered, and the committee reserves the right to decline applications that do not align with the award’s intent. All personal information submitted will be used solely for scholarship evaluation and related communication.
