Greater Grand Rapids USBC

The Greater Grand Rapids USBC makes multiple scholarships available to all sanctioned “Certified Youth” bowlers in the Grand Rapids Area. Each of the three old membership categories sponsors scholarships, as shown below, as well as other scholarship programs listed below also. The Men’s Scholarship will be awarded to a boy, and the Women’s Scholarship will be awarded to a girl. The Youth Scholarships can be awarded to either a boy or a girl. These scholarships are applied for on a single application form. The Weatherbee Scholarship, Lomonaco Scholarship, and Orlikowski Scholarship are applied for separately and submitted individually.

Youth bowlers may apply for any of the listed scholarships, Men’s, Women’s, and Youth, but cannot receive any one of the scholarships more than once.
