The Greater Grand Rapids USBC makes multiple scholarships available to all “Certified Youth” and collegiate bowlers sanctioned in the Grand Rapids Area. Each of the three legacy membership categories sponsors scholarships, as shown below. 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. We also administer 4 scholarships that are dedicated to GRGRUSBC members who had a tremendous impact on bowling in Grand Rapids. The Weatherbee Scholarship, Lomonaco Scholarship, Orlikowski Scholarship, and Eaton Sr. scholarship are all applied for separately and submitted individually. These scholarship award winners are each determined by a separate panel composed of members of each respective family.
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.
NEW IN 2025
- The family of Mike Eaton Sr. is establishing a new scholarship opportunity in the amount of $2,000!
- The Orlikowski family is offering a 2nd $500 scholarship!
