How does the Educational Foundation choose scholarship recipients? Why don you make sure each chapter gets the same amount of scholarships?
Scholarship recipients are chosen based on the criteria noted on each of the application forms: Academic Achievement, Campus Involvement and Financial Need. We consciously avoid considering a member’s chapter in the selection process. To impose quotas would force us to select one person when a person at another chapter may be much more deserving of the scholarship based on the criteria. In a given year, one chapter may receive more scholarships than another. This is especially true of Financial Need scholarships. The demographics and costs of some universities are such that more students are in need of financial aid.
