How does STARS review applications and select recipients?
STARS reviews every application and the accompanied documents diligently. All applicant information in entered into are system and assigned a score, based on quantitative information included in your application such as GPA and earned hours, along with financial need based on your Student Aid Report. STARS then establishes a preliminary list of recipients and consults with the applicant’s school to confirm academic progress and financial need, prior to offering the award to the recipient. The process is designed to be fair to all that apply and for us to help as many students as possible.
