Maass Scholarship to a student attending a local high school, and the Fox Valley Section Scholarship to a graduating high school child or grandchild of an active section member. 

For the current program year, packages for the Richard A Maass Memorial Scholarship have been distributed to local high schools. Applicants attending local high schools may pick up a package from their guidance counselor. To be considered for this scholarship, the application must be submitted as a complete package and postmarked no later than the first Saturday in March. This scholarship is our philanthropic effort and is meant to assist a student in the local community.

Scholarship Committee:

The section offers two scholarships each year. One, the Richard A. Maass Memorial Scholarship, honors one of the founders and a long-time leader of the section. It is presented to the one candidate, selected from the recommended applications received form the graduating seniors at local high schools in the Fox Valley section’s area who are pursuing a college degree the next academic year at an accredited University or four-year College. All applications come through the schools. Anyone interested in this scholarship should contact their guidance counselor for more information.

The second scholarship is the ASQ Section 1208 Scholarship. It is a one-time, monetary award presented to one selected candidate from the applications received from children and grandchildren of active 1208 members. This scholarship program is open to graduating high school seniors pursuing a college degree the next academic year at an accredited University or four-year College.

Both scholarship awards are paid directly to the awardee’s college.

The Scholarship Committee meets in person or by teleconference at least twice per year. It submits a verbal or written report to the Fox Valley Section 1208 Leadership Committee on the progress of the committee’s work.

The Scholarship Committee is made up of seasoned members. Two members have been on the committee since its inception in 1990. The third member has been on the committee over 8 years. Our newest member started in 2017.
