ASMC Sequoyah Chapter

Awards & Scholarships Every year, ASMC sponsors individual and team awards and scholarships at both the local Chapter and National levels.  All submissions for local Chapter and National awards and scholarships must be sent to Angela Harris, VP of Awards and Scholarships, DSN 336-4266.  Submissions sent directly to the National level are not made available to the Chapter Awards and Scholarship Committee; therefore, those submissions will not be considered for Chapter-level competition.  All submissions received by the Chapter Awards and Scholarship Committee by the scheduled deadline will be forwarded to the National level by their scheduled deadline.  Chapter-level winners will be determined based upon nominations received.  We will may not have winners in all categories, but all entries will be considered, and may be placed in an combined category, if necessary.
