AWARDS
COMMITTEE PROCEDUREFollowing the receipt of the completed application package, the Committee Chairperson will forward the copies (with the applicant’s name removed) to all committee members. Therefore it is important that the copies are of good quality. Each committee member will evaluate/score, and maintain the original application package. Committee members score sheets will be returned to the Committee Chairperson, who will then tabulate the scores to establish the scholarship winner. The Committee will select a winner each year according to academic merit and potential to succeed in the student’s chosen educational field. The Committee will make the decision by evaluating the information received from the applicant and the high school or college. Application for the scholarships is competitive. The Scholarship Committee’s scores are tabulated by the Committee Chairperson. The scholarship approval is based on average scores compared to other applicant’s average scores. The highest score wins the scholarship. Only one "The Robert H. Joseph" scholarship will be awarded per year; however, additional scholarships may be awarded at the discretion of the scholarship committee. Decisions by the The Scholarship Committee are final. The scholarship award recipient will be announced at the SCALI Annual Conference.
