Scholarship
The Imperial Guard Alumnae has given 73 scholarships
for a total of $71,500. 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 applications
are geared appropriately, high school and college level. Each applicant must be either a Waltrip student or they
must have the recommendation of a woman who was in the organization; this can be from a family or friend relationship, or
arrangements can be made to be interviewed by a Guard member and then the recommendation can be given. 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, Trinity, Franklin Pierce Law, Texas A&M Corpus, Houston Community College, Blinn, and The University of Houston.
