SUBJECT:    IU Bates Scholarship Reminder
The International Union’s U.S. Bates Scholarship Program, administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), selects three students annually to receive $2,500 per year toward their college education for up to four years.
 
Unlike a number of scholarship programs, the U.S. Bates application process begins in a student’s junior year in high school. To apply, a student must be the son or daughter of a U.S. BAC member in good standing, a high school junior, and have taken the standardized “PSAT” exam in his/her junior year.
 
Complete information about the U.S. program and a link to the online application form are at BAC’s website at www.bacweb.org/member_benefits/education/bates_us.htm. The application deadline is March 1, 2010. 
 
Once the application deadline is past, entrants who progress in the competition will be notified directly by the NMSC by December 31, 2010.  Winners will be notified by April 2011. 
 
We encourage you to remind members about this important benefit through your newsletter and/or a link on your website. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the BAC Education Department at clamber@bacweb.org or 202-383-3110.
