The Tulsa Post of the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) is pleased to announce
plans to award three $1,000 Justin Noyes Scholarships to senior high school students who intend
to earn a degree in engineering, biological science or physical science.
These annual scholarships are in honor of Marine Sergeant Justin Noyes, an American Hero,
who fought and died while serving our country in Fallujah, Iraq. Named for a remarkable young
man who was fiercely dedicated to the service of our Nation, the scholarships recognize students
whose accomplishments; associated with scholastic abilities, leadership and love of country; are
honored by SAME and mirror the achievements of Sergeant Noyes.
Students from high schools in the Tulsa area who meet the following eligibility requirements will
be considered for the scholarship awards.
•
Applicants must enroll in a curriculum that will lead to an accredited engineering,
physical science, or biological science degree. The SAME scholarship awards are
contingent upon the winners being accepted for admission at Langston University,
Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, Northeastern State University, Oklahoma State
University, Oklahoma University, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa Community College, or
Tulsa University. Other universities outside the State of Oklahoma are acceptable if the
student is nominated by a Tulsa Post SAME member.
•
Applicants must have a maximum ACT composite score of 30 (ACT score 30 or less).
•
Students who accept Nation Merit or Oklahoma Regents Scholarships are ineligible to
receive SAME scholarships.
•
Applicants must be United States Citizens.
The Tulsa Post of SAME will continue to include a renewable scholarship. One of the
scholarships awarded will be a renewable 4-year scholarship and will be at the $4,000 level
($1,000 per year for four years) to the top graduating high school senior applicant. The
recipient must meet two requirements to continue to receive their renewable scholarship beyond
the initial year:
• Maintain a GPA of at least a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) their Freshman year and a 3.0 thereafter.
• Maintain full time student status (12 hours per semester) progressing towards a four-year
degree in engineering or the physical sciences.
The recipient will also be required to provide a short essay (via an email) describing their
accomplishments over the past year and their career goals.
The Tulsa Post of the SAME wants to award these scholarships to students who have the desire
and ability to become excellent engineers, physical scientists, or biological scientists. Our
eligibility requirements; therefore, do not limit the scholarship opportunity to those students with
the best grades or the highest ACT scores. We are depending on your school’s guidance
counselors, teachers and JROTC leaders to identify students who are most deserving and might
not otherwise qualify for scholarships based primarily on academic achievement.
These scholarships are not limited to students interested in military careers. All applicants
interested in engineering, biological science or physical science that meet the above eligibility
requirements will be considered.
We ask that your school nominate 1 to 3 students to compete with other Tulsa area high school
students for the scholarships. The nominees from each school will be evaluated by our
scholarship selection committee and the winners and their schools will be notified in June 2017.
Enclosed are the application package requirements for the student nominees. Application
packages are also available at our website, http://www.sametulsa.org/. The application packages
must by postmarked by April 29, 2017, and returned to the email address below, or mailed to:
