The Jack Way Memorial Scholarship

The Jack Way Memorial Scholarship applauds citizenship by honoring the memory of a man who fervently believed in the adage, "If everyone works together, we can make the world a better place to live." Jack Way's optimism and inspiration touched the people of Seacoast Shores in many beneficial ways, whether it was through his stewardship of the local Crime Watch Chapter or being the President of the Seacoast Shores Association. He also discovered the many jewels that this community had to offer through his loves of boating, fishing, clamming, and painting. Jack Way felt that when people participate in the public process, good things can and will happen.

Purpose

In memory of Jack Way, the Seacoast Shores Association will award one $1,000 scholarship each year in order to help a student realize his/her post-high school educational goals.

Eligibility

The applicant must be:

• A child whose parent or guardian is a Seacoast Shores Association member and is a property owner or a year-round resident of Seacoast Shores.
• A graduating senior who has been accepted to a post-high school program/college or an undergraduate already enrolled in such a course of study.
• A student who merits the scholarship. All of the following criteria will be considered: grades, citizenship (contributions to the community), financial need, extra curricular activities, and the essay.

Application

The application must include:

• A completed scholarship application form and essay;
• A high school or program/college transcript;
• One letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, coach, administrator, community leader, religious person, employer, or youth counselor.

Note

• This is a one-year non-renewable scholarship.
• Scholarship payment will be granted after the committee receives the grades from the first semester or the bill for the second semester. The recipient is responsible for forwarding either to the committee.
• The full will be granted to the school, not the student.
• All decisions of the committee are final.
