Scholarship The Imperial Guard Alumnae has given 79 scholarships
for a total of $77,500. These gifts of encouragement are from the dedicated work of “Guard Girls” and the
generous support of the community, friends and family. The support of all can be felt with each scholarship given. A blind
review of all applications is conducted by a committee of former Guard members. Applicants also submit a short essay. Points
are awarded for the areas of academic achievement, extra-curricular, service, leadership and financial need. The scholarships
can be for vocational or higher education at any level. Each applicant must be either a Waltrip student or they
must have the recommendation of a Guard member. There must be a Waltrip connection. Men and women are encouraged to
apply. Depending upon the funds raised and the organizational ability, various numbers of scholarships are awarded and amounts
are given. In 2004, scholarships were named for the areas The Guard is known for: Sandra Lee Cole for Leadership, Nancy West
Herbster for Values and Tradition, Debbie Sherrill Adams for Service and Cindy Greene Reibenstein for Spirit. Although no
scholarship given is for the area honored, it is in that collective spirit that each scholarship is awarded. Through the scholarship
program our values can continue throughout another generation. Many area high schools have the applications each year and
winners have come from Waltrip, Cy-Ridge, Jersey Village, Klein, Cy-Creek, Cy-Woods, Bryan, The Woodlands, San
Antonio, Strake Jesuit Prep. and our winners attend various universities: Cornell, Juliard, Texas A&M, Texas, Baylor,
Texas Tech, Texas Christian University,Trinity, Franklin Pierce Law, Texas A&M Corpus, Houston Community College, Blinn,
and The University of Houston.
