Scholarship
The Imperial Guard Alumnae has given 41 scholarships for a total of $41,000. 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, The Woodlands, San Antonio, Strake Jesuit Prep. and our winners attend various universities: Cornell, Texas A&M, Texas, Baylor, Trinity, Franklin Pierce Law, Texas A&M Corpus, Houston Community College, and The University of Houston.
