Established in 2010, this special scholarship award is being offered through the Endowment Trust Fund to an individual applicant who not only meets all the requirements of the National Scholarship award but possesses leadership qualities by being actively involved in their local Turner Society or local community events while exemplifying our Turner motto, “A Sound Mind In A Sound Body”.
The William R. Meyer Honorary Scholarship is a separate standalone offering from the Endowment Trust. This scholarship is not associated with any other National, District or Society offered scholastic award which includes the American Turners National Scholarship.
The Trustees review the same required information provided by the candidate for applying for an American Turners Scholarship award but it’s NOT a requirement to receive an American Turners Scholarship award to qualify to apply for a William R Meyer Honorary Scholarship award.
Recommendations can be made from the National Scholarship Committee with an emphasis placed on leadership qualities and/or Society, District or local activities and involvement such as community service in the name of American Turners.
