Greater Tuckahoe Area Merchants’ Association Scholarship Programs

The Greater Tuckahoe Area Merchants’ Association (G.T.A.M.A.) is offering educational scholarships to students who reside within the geographic boundaries of the Association and meet certain eligibility requirements.

As in the past, the Association is accepting applications from high school seniors for the James and Martha Owens Scholarship and for the third year from students already attending a post secondary school.

A new scholarship program has been established and is known as the Doris C. Stowell Scholarship. One high school senior that meets special criteria established by Mrs. Stowell will be selected as a recipient. The Doris C. Stowell Scholarship is $5000.

Each year the scholarship amount for the James and Martha Owens and the G.T.A.M.A post secondary program will depend on the number of applicants and available funds.

The Owens and Stowell scholarships for the high school seniors will be awarded after successfully completing the first college semester and providing the scholarship committee a copy of the transcript.

Post Secondary recipients may reapply and receive a scholarship up to three times (a total of four years)

Re-applicants must maintain a GPA of 2.9 (on a 4.0 scale)
