Scholarship Opportunities
One of the greatest benefits to those members in school or with dependents in school is exclusive access to various scholarships.
A plethora of scholarships are available through WNGEA, EANGUS and the EANGUS Auxiliary. For instance, WNGEA offers up to five grants in the amount of $500 each, and one grant of $1,000, (known as the Raymond A. Matera Scholarship). Depending on available funds additional Scholarsips may be available.
USAA provides the Wisconsin National Guard Enlisted Association with an additional $1,000 dollar scholarship each year. This year we have also received a donation of an additional $1000.00 dollar Scholarship from the Estate of CSM (Ret) Donald C. Meister. Don was a Past President and an avid supporter of the Wisconsin National Guard Enlisted Association.
