    complete a separate form for each committee in which you serve.
  • Look for communication from your committee chair regarding the review process and timeline

 

 

Step 2 – Review applications

Applications are accepted online, and our system ensures each applicant is qualified for each scholarship. The day after the scholarship deadline each reviewer will receive an email that provides access to the applications for review.

Work with your scholarship committee to review applicants and select your scholarship recipients. The online application and review process does not require you to change any aspect of your decision process.
