High School Scholarship

Task:
We will be evaluating Scholarship Applications in April to award two scholarships to deserving seniors.

The High School Guidance Office sends applications from Seniors in the top 1/2 of their class who request consideration for an Optimist Scholarship for Post-Secondary Education.
The Club has a committee of 6 people with staggered 2 year terms to review the applications.

Procedure:
Teams of 2 will review 1/3 of the applications and select the top 4 based on Scholarship, Leadership, Extra-Curricular Activities, etc.

The entire Committee reviews the top 4 candidates from each team and selects the top 4 overall candidates.
These 4 individuals are submitted to the High School Guidance Department to select the 2 winners.
The High School determines the winners based on spreading the scholarships among the most deserving students.
