McClure Scholarship, which can be awarded to applicants whose membership in SNAME can be documented for a minimum of two (2) years prior to the application due date, nominally 15 February of the Scholarship application year.
3. Without exception, SNAME Graduate Scholarships are awarded to students who are (or who will be) enrolled in a master’s degree program for the Fall semester of the calendar year in which they have applied for a SNAME scholarship.
