Education Grants Rules and Procedures
Two awards of $500 each will be presented. Award recipients will be selected in a random public drawing at
the next Division 229 membership meeting to be held in 2011. Winners will receive their awards soon after
the membership dinner. Winning names will be posted on PEF bulletin boards and announced at the
membership meeting. Financial need will not be considered. Applicants need not be present to win. Any
amount not awarded will roll over into the grant award fund for the next year.
Eligible applicants are limited to legal children of PEF Division 229 members. Children for whom the PEF
member is legal guardian are also eligible. Each applicant may file only one application; however, if both
parents are members of PEF Division 229, the child may submit an application from each parent. If a
member has 2 or more children who meet the eligibility criteria an application may be submitted for each
child. Children who receive an award are eligible to apply in subsequent years, but there is a maximum of 2
awards per child.
Applicants must be able to provide proof of enrollment in an approved post-secondary education program.
Winners of the 2011 drawing will be asked to provide proof of enrollment prior to receipt of the education
grant. The post-secondary education program must be one that will lead to a college degree (e.g. 2 year
degree, 4 year degree) or a certificate (e.g. business school, computer school, cosmetology, welding).
Proof of enrollment could be a copy of the student’s registration showing dates of attendance and courses
enrolled in, or, a letter from a school official indicating the student is currently taking courses in a program
that leads to a degree or certificate, or other written proof that may be available to the applicant.
