Grace Mainvil Memorial Scholarship
We are proud to introduce the Grace Mainvil Scholarship in memory of our beloved past treasurer who passed away in 2017. This scholarship is open to those who are in their last year of eligibility of Udaleku (ie: will be 16 years of age before the September following Udaleku).
The winner of the scholarship will have their Udaleku tuition reimbursed by the scholarship fund and their entry will be featured on the N.A.B.O. website.
The Grace Mainvil Scholarship winner will be determined by the Udaleku Staff. They will give the award to the eligible participant who best embodies the values of Udaleku.

Giselle (Gigi) is now getting ready for her fifth Udaleku experience in Reno, NV July 8-20th, 2018.� The scholarship application requires an essay in two parts: a) what impact Udaleku has had on you and b) what advice would you give to a new Udaleku camper? In Gigi’s response, she stressed the importance of meeting new people at camp, not only among the campers, but also the experiences she has had with various host families she’s stayed with. She credits Udaleku too with her increased knowledge of the Basque culture that now enables her to better respond to the question, “What’s Basque?” When asked for advice for new campers she said, “The biggest piece of advice I could give to a new camper is to push yourself to step out of your comfort zone, whether that be trying a new sport or meeting new people.� This is a key part of Udaleku.” Well said Gigi, and Zorionak! |
