Establishing eligibility and selection criteria. 3. Establishing, maintaining, distributing, and publicizing an appropriate application form and instructions. 4. Reviewing, evaluating and selecting scholarship recipients from the pool of applicants.
Number and Amount of Scholarships Each year the trustee reports to the scholarship committee the funds that are available for this purpose. Based on this and other considerations, the committee establishes the number and amount of scholarships to be awarded that year.
Eligibility Eligibility is limited to full-time students who are planning to attend college in the coming fall to pursue studies and who have obtained or will obtain prior to starting college a state-approved high-school degree and who are a graduate or will be a graduate from any high school district represented in Independence County including Cave City.
Application Form The application form is attached. Distribution of the application form normally begins in January each year. The application forms are provided to all Independence County High Schools and Cave City High School, plus the Rotary Club of Batesville. The availability of application forms is publicized in the local news paper and other media, as appropriate.
Selection Process Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of: a. demonstrated academic performance b. career goals c.
school and community citizenship and activities

This is done by each member of the Scholarship Committee individually. The applicants are ranked based on the total of these scores. Then the Scholarship Committee meets as a group to review the results and determines the number of applicants that will be interviewed that year. Then that number of applicants who are at the top of the list are invited to interview. Those applicants who accept this invitation are interviewed by the Scholarship Committee. The Scholarship Committee makes the final selections based on all the information that is available to them, including the application, the applicant's performance in the interview, and the number of scholarships to be awarded that year.
Selection Criteria The scholarship committee has established the following guidance regarding the basic selection criteria. Citizenship: Leadership and participation in school, civic and community organizations. Academic Performance: Cumulative GPA equivalent to a minimum 3.0 on a 4.0 scale high school and college GPA. Consideration is also given to ACT/SAT scores. Consideration will also be given to the number of math and science courses that are part of the applicant's transcript.
