SMART
Did you know ... Each year millions of dollars in scholarships are awarded to youth bowlers across the country through the SMART program?
SMART (Scholarship Management and Account Reporting for Tenpins), an independent entity, provides a central location to manage bowling scholarships at no cost to you.
How does SMART work? Once a youth bowler's scholarship funds are submitted to SMART, access a one-stop online servicing portal and view the scholarship funds, and request funds to be sent directly to the education institution.
Scholarship funds must be deposited into SMART within 30 days of the end of the event. Then both you and your youth bowler can check to make sure funds have been added, and watch the funds grow!
Scholarship funds can be used for just one class, a book, or more, and can be used at the following educational institutions?
Scholarship funds can be sent to:
-
Universities
-
Colleges
-
Business Schools
-
Technical Schools
-
Trade Schools
-
Vocational Schools
Scholarship funds may be used for the following:
-
Tuition and Fees
-
On-campus meal plans
-
On-campus housing plans
SMART funds only are available after high school graduation. Funds distribution must be paid directly to the secondary educational institution. Reimbursements and/or direct distribution of funds are not allowed.
Additionally, textbooks, required class supplies, and any equipment necessary for completion of a course or program must be purchased through the campus bookstore.
Tri-County USBC has established an account with the SMART Scholarship Program.
Funds will be sent to your accounts via your USBC ID # and you will receive notification via the
email address that was listed at the tme of registration.
Local Youth Championship and Youth League Achievements are just
a couple of ways we contribute to the Scholarship Program.
