6. SCHOLARSHIPS RECIPIENTS FOR 2015
|
|
|
Description:
Attached is the spreadsheet with the candidates and their scores and notes of the awards.
The one question is the At Large Scholarship for $1,000. Paul Holmes recommends the At Large Scholarship should go to a full-time SW Metro Student (not necessarily CTE student taking only Career Tech Classes). Here is the issue: If Board agrees that is the parameters of that scholarship, the recipient (in this year's pool) is the one who scored the lowest overall. One thought, should we split the scholarship into 2 $500 scholarships and award the only remaining fulltime SW Metro Student and one to the highest score not awarded a scholarship? Board Vote Needed for At Large Parameters Board Vote Needed to Approve 2015 Recipients SAVE the DATE: Thursday, May 21st at 7:00 a.m. is the awards breakfast. |

8. SCHOLARSHIP MENTORS UPDATE
|
|
|
Description:
Lesley is making edits tot he Job Description and Policy/Roles of Mentorship and Mentor/Mentee Responsibilities.
For this scholarship year (as we are still formalizing this program), Lesley will offer the opportunity for the recipients to indicate interest in having a mentor in the award letter and will ask for a decision of participation by May 15th. Once we have a sense of who is interested in participating, we will match people to mentors already identified as interested in helping and send out formal letters to the students and mentors. As for a mentor/mentee social, we will have to host one in the late summer/early fall. |
