Selection Process
Following a thorough evaluation of each application, points will be assigned based on the applicants’ average grades, the average amount of credits earned every semester and letters of recommendation. The selection committee will use this ranking as a guide.
The student’s financial status and if they have already won the scholarship are two other factors that will be taken into account.
If a student has previously been awarded a scholarship, the committee will evaluate whether their performance has changed since their initial application.
