How Selection Works

A light, counselor-led process that puts local knowledge first

1

COUNSELORS NOMINATE

Each of the three schools' college & career counselors nominates 2–3 graduating seniors — not necessarily top GPA, but students whose trajectory they believe in.

2

STUDENTS APPLY

Nominated students submit a personal statement, brief financial context, and one letter of recommendation.

3

COMITTEE SELECTS

A selection committee reviews applications against a simple rubric — keeping the process fair, documented, and independent.

4

SCHOLAR & MENTOR

The scholarship is paid directly to the student's college, and the sponsoring donor begins a mentoring relationship.
