How do Illinois Dollars for Scholars chapters establish criteria for scholarship distribution?
Chapters determine criteria and process for scholarship distribution to best fit their community based on sample policies developed by Scholarship America. These sample policies help chapters to determine criteria for awarding scholarship awards based on either need, merit, or some combination of need and merit. Chapters are instructed to establish a specified amount or percentage of annually-raised funds to be distributed per academic year, as well as a specified amount or percentage to be set aside as endowment funds for future scholarships.
