SCHOLARSHIPS
In 1990, the Genesee Valley WBA established a scholarship fund on a wing and a prayer.  The Scholarship Committee gathered information from other bowling organizations to help establish their guidelines and by-laws and in 1991 the first scholarship award was presented in the amount of $250.  The Committee originally set the fund up to award up to four scholarships of $250 each annually.

 

By 1994, it was evident the Committee would probably never get four applications for the scholarship award so the decision was made to increase the award to $500 but decrease the number of winners to two.

 

That pattern was followed until 1999 when the Committee and the Board of Directors reached the decision that the fundraisers and donations had been successful enough to increase the scholarship award to $800.

 

Listed below are the GVWBA scholarship winners since its inception in 1990.
