JOEY ROBISON SCHOLARSHIP FOR NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS GUIDELINES

Altrusa International of St. Augustine, Inc.

Altrusa International of St. Augustine, Inc. is a volunteer service organization that focuses on improving the educational level of citizens of St. Johns County. The Joey Robison Scholarship for Non-Traditional Students was named in memory of the son of Linda Robison, former governor of District Three, Altrusa International. Mrs. Robison is an avid supporter of higher education and believes Altrusa must give a hand up to individuals with not only educational needs but also a desire to change and improve the condition of their lives.

Each Joey Robison Scholarship for Non-Traditional Students assists a student who is a St. Johns County resident and is enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education. Scholarships of $500 each will be awarded to qualified applicants.

An applicant should be:
• a resident of St. Johns County who plans to remain in the area.
• a non-traditional student (out of high school for six or more years) who seeks to upgrade work skills in a tech school or college to seek an undergraduate degree.
• an individual who has financial need.

Non-traditional students who wish to be considered must:

(1) Complete the application form.

(2) Ask two people to submit recommendations on the provided form. Each person should be a professional with knowledge of your academic grades and be familiar with your academic ability and commitment to finishing a degree. Recommendations from family members will not be considered.

You should give the form to the individuals who will make a recommendation. The person completing the recommendation should mail the reference directly to Altrusa.

A complete application packet is the application form and two (2) completed recommendations. Incomplete packets will not be considered. Applicants may need to follow-up with people asked to make references to be sure the recommendations are mailed on time.
