Special Olympics Howard County Scholarship
for Outstanding Student Volunteers

Special Olympics Howard County will award two $1500 scholarships to outstanding student volunteers who have been committed to the Special Olympics Howard County program as a volunteer and advocate of the athletes through the generosity of two families.

The Jackie Burk Memorial Award for Outstanding Student Volunteer for Special Olympics Howard County was created in 2004 by Jack and Linda Burk in memory of their daughter, Jackie, a special friend and volunteer to Special Olympics Howard County. The Allan Homes Award was established in 2005 by Allan Waschak, Special Olympics Howard County management team member and Aquatics Coordinator, and his wife Kathy.

Interested students must complete an application (available at www.somdhc.org), provide at least one recommendation from a Special Olympics Howard County coach, management team member or sports coordinator, and write a 500 word essay about their experiences as a volunteer.

Completed applications should be mailed to Special Olympics Howard County, 8970 Route 108, Suite A-1, Columbia, MD 21045, ATTN: Scholarship Committee and must be postmarked no later than April 1, 2010.

Questions should be addressed to info@somdhc.org or by calling the SOHC office at 410-740-0500.
