Swiss Benevolent Association of Greater Cincinnati - Scholarship
The Swiss Benevolent Association of Greater Cincinnati Ohio (SBA) will have funds available for undergraduate college/university students of Swiss descent. The awards are for tuition only and will be paid quarterly. The first quarter award will be handed out personally at the Swiss 1st August celebration. Therefore, the applicant must be present or he/she will be disqualified.
These guidelines will help the SBA to stay accountable through their records, to publicly honor and recognize these young Swiss descendants and to develop a pattern of active involvement with the Association which will be hopefully carried on into their future lives.
Guidelines:
The applicant must be either a Swiss National with permanent US residency permit (visa/green card) or of Swiss descent with documents of proof. Family trees are not accepted since they usually don’t indicate the places of origin (Heimatort) or citizenship.
