THE AWARD SELECTION - MORE THAN JUST A SCORE

All applications are evaluated and averaged by applicant for a final score.  The averaged or final scores merely ranks the applicants for the final step, Summarization Of Awards (SOA).  Scholarship award amounts are totaled for each applicant and then reviewed to assure that we select the applicant/s by score with the greatest financial need.  Why give a jacket to a man with a coat, when the man beside you is freezing to death? For more about our evaluation process Contact Us
