Objectives and Purposes of the Fund
To prepare young men and women who have a background in American-Norwegian ideals with an education in civic and commercial activity to the end that benefits therefrom may accrue to the State of Washington, City of Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest.
To promote education that will assist in and encourage the building of new industries and the expansion of old through training in accredited formal and vocational public and private schools in the northwestern United States, Canada and the Scandinavian countries.
To further the education of applicants interested in promoting the cultural bonds between the Scandinavian countries and the United States.
Judgment of Scholarships
The applications for scholarships shall be judged on their merit alone. The applicant’s name is removed from all formal applications. Thus, the committee members when judging applications will avoid all personal favoritisms without mental reservation or secret evasion.
Expenses of the Fund
All expenses for administration of the Norwegian Scholarship Fund shall be borne by the Norwegian Commercial Club. As a result, one hundred percent of all scholarship monies are used for scholarships.
Fund Management
Officers of the Fund shall consist of the duly elected officers and trustees of The Norwegian Commercial Club.
