 Barb Miller Scholarship

DONATE TO BARB MILLER FUND
Picture

Barb Miller grew up on Dewart Lake in Syracuse, Indiana.  In the early 1950’s Barb became a member of the Dewart Lake Ski Club, skiing as a flag girl.  In 1960 she married John.  Barb was a member of AWSA and IWSA since the early 1960’s.    Barb was both a Regular judge and a senior scorer.  She spent many weekends every summer working at water ski tournaments for the benefit of the skiers.  She worked tournaments at the fun, local, state, regional, and national levels.  Barb was also the secretary for the state ski club for over 10 years.  You could always count on Barb for help and support.    Education was also important to Barb.  Barb and John have four daughters—Shari, Sheli, Shawna and Shantel.  Barb was   insistent that they take their education seriously.  They all graduated from college!  What would be more fitting than to honor and remember Barb with an educational scholarship for Indiana skiers. 
   IWSA has developed a college scholarship available to IWSA members in honor of the late Barb Miller.  The applicant must  be a full time student, incoming freshman through senior, at a 2 or 4 year accredited college or university.  Applicants must also be current members of USA Water Ski and IWSA.  Awards are for one year only and one person can receive the award for no more than 3 times.  Recipients may reapply each year. 
   The amount of the scholarship to be awarded is $500.00.  Interested skiers must complete an application form.  The IWSA  Scholarship Committee will review the application.  Selection criteria includes academic performance, leadership,  extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, involvement in USA Water Ski and IWSA, need, and a written essay. The scholarship committee at State tournament will award the recipient the scholarship. 
   The deadline for the scholarship application is July 1 each year.  Please be sure to follow all the instructions completely. To receive an application form qualified individuals can either down load one in a printable format from below, or send their name, address and phone number to:
