Scoop a Scholarship!

It is March Madness! For some, it means basketball season, but for NAPS-it's scholarship season. Here is the scoop.
The March 31 deadline is fast approaching for scholarship applicants to apply for the special Andy Sozzi Legacy Scholarship. Through a one-time donation by John Pescitelli, president of M3 Technology, the Andy Sozzi Legacy Scholarship will provide two--$1,000 scholarships. NAPS headquarters is pleased to have already received over 130 Andy Sozzi Legacy Scholarship applications.
In the December 2012 issue of The Postal Supervisor, there was a special article about Andy Sozzi, NAPS Northeast Regional Vice President, who brightened the lives of thousands of children during the holiday by playing Santa. Andy left us too early in life, but his legacy of giving continues.
To be eligible for consideration of an Andy Sozzi Legacy Scholarship, an applicant must be a child or grandchild of living NAPS members. In addition, the applicant must be attending or have been accepted to attend an accredited four-year college, university or, unique to this scholarship, graduate school. The two winners of the Andy Sozzi Legacy Scholarship will be drawn at the 2013 NAPS Legislative Training Seminar (LTS) in April.
For a copy of the Andy Sozzi Legacy Scholarship application with rules, click here, or visit www.naps.org. A copy of the scholarship application is also in your 2013 January, February and March issues of The Postal Supervisor.
I just want to remind our members to have their eligible children or grandchildren apply by July 31, 2013, for the NAPS Vince Palladino Memorial Student Scholarship and Donald Ledbetter Memorial Scholarships.
Those applications are also in The Postal Supervisor magazine and on the NAPS website. Why wait? Apply today.
There is no wait either as I apply my ice cream flavor of the week recommendation-New York Style Cheesecake.
