Totals will be used to determine who is selected in the event all applications can not be considered. A maximum of 75% of the existing scholarship fund may be awarded with a minimum of 25% of the fund to be rolled over to the following year. At the discretion of the committee, multiple scholarships may be awarded in each category with consideration given to those that are applying for the first time. The committee will make recommendations to the board at the board meeting prior to the business meeting and all applicants will be notified (of acceptance or rejection) prior to the annual business meeting.
