FOR AREA
STUDENTS
(BALA
CYNWYD,
PA) The
Golden
Slipper
Club of
Philadelphia's
(GSC)
tradition
of
awarding
scholarship
money to
area
students
continued
in
2012.
The
philanthropic
organization
held its
"Slipper
Scholarship
Awards"
reception
on May 2
at the
Bala
Golf
Club in
Philadelphia.
Fifteen
students
were
awarded
a total
of
$40,000
in
scholarships
to help
pay for
their
2012-2013
college
education.
Scholarships
are
based on
several
criteria
including
financial
need,
academic
achievement,
community
work
completed
by
students,
etc.
Students
are
required
to write
an essay
as part
of their
application.
A
committee
interviews
students
who
qualify
and
makes
final
award
selections.
GSC
members
believe
the
leaders
of
tomorrow
should
be given
every
opportunity
to
obtain a
college
education,
even if
they are
unable
to
afford
one.
This
program
provides
one-year
college
scholarships
at a
minimum
of
$2,000
to
deserving
students
in the
Philadelphia
region
to help
ease
this
burden
of the
cost of
higher
education.
Since
the
early
1940's,
this
program
has
awarded
scholarships
to
outstanding
students,
many of
whom
have
become
leaders
in the
Philadelphia
regional
community
in which
they
live and
work.
One of
the
goals of
the
scholarship
program
is to
reinforce
to
scholarship
recipients
the
importance
of
community
commitment.
The
scholarship
awards
is just
one of
the many
ways
that
Golden
Slipper
Club &

community.
