Application Procedures

 

Notes:

Essays may be as long or as short as applicants/nominees feel necessary to support their candidacy.​

Applicants/nominees shall be assessed on how well they meet the following criteria.  These are the same characteristics, traits & attributes the GGFG expects of its soldiers, however, the regiment believes they are equally applicable in civilian life:

​

  • ​​Pursuit of excellence
  • Going above and beyond
  • ​Overcoming adversity
  • Drive and determination
  • ​Pride of service to the community and country

​​​

It would be helpful if candidates were to indicate how they would use their award if they were to win (i.e. university tuition, trades training or other productive use).

​​

In the event several applications/nominations are close in quality, the Committee will arrange interviews (as necessary) to act as a “tie-breaker”.

 

Questions related to any aspect of the Applications/Nominations process may be directed to the GGFG Youth Achievement Awards Committee at ggfgyouthawards@gmail.com up to 72 hours before the submission deadline.
