The John G. Hauck Scholarship

A Tribute to the Education Profession

BASA Welcomes Applications and Contributions

2018 Awards Purpose: The John G. Hauck Scholarship Award was established to honor BASA Executive Director Emeritus John Hauck and to provide support to a BASA member's dependent who is pursuing a career in education. Media coverage and national educational reports constantly emphasize that young people are not choosing education as a profession as they once did. The brightest and most talented are finding other vocations. This is happening at a time when their skills and talents are needed most. The John G. Hauck Scholarship Fund is an attempt to not only honor John and the education profession but also help students who have chosen education as a career. Qualifications: To be eligible, a student must be the dependent of an active or retired BASA member and enrolled in the college of education at an accredited college or university. Preference will be given to upcoming college juniors and seniors. The candidate's potential for success in the field of education will be a primary factor. A recipient can accept the scholarship one time only. Procedures: Applicants are requested to provide recommendations and support documentation from college professors and/or supervising teachers. The scholarship award will be given in an amount equal to the earnings of the fund (at least $1,000). The award will be paid directly to the recipient to be used to help defray the cost of pursuing a career in education. Selection of the recipient will be made by the BASA Scholarship Committee. This committee consists of three members of the executive committee appointed by the BASA President. The recipient will be awarded the scholarship money at a ceremony during the BASA Fall Conference. Deadline to submit the application is September 14, 2018. Fax: 614-846-4081, email: hall@basa-ohio.org . - OVER PLEASE - SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION ON REVERSE SIDE OF THIS PAGE Contributions: You may make a contribution to the John G. Hauck Scholarship Fund at any time by writing a check payable to BASA (with a notation that it is for the scholarship fund) and mailing it to: BASA at 8050 N. High St., Suite 150, Columbus, OH 43235-6486. Your support is needed to maintain the fund. Please help honor our profession, our association and John Hauck.
