Scholarship

Hello everyone,

This is a very important topic, it is dealing with the camps scholarship. I would like to ask the camp to give input on the following, and if you have other points to make please do so.

  • Point system - what do you think the best point system should be
  • Membership requirement - should this be there or should we except all native members or not
  • Streamlining - is it really necessary to find even more ways to shorten the application
  • Other - with what you know or don't know give any other opinions you may have on this topic

My Opinion: I think that

  1. the camp should choose a set number of scholarship awards per year to give and a total dollar amount per award $300.00, $500.00 and so on.
  2. divide that number in two for how many to give out per semester
  3. the total points given to an applicant is the percentage of the total to be allotted that person.
  4. I personally do not think it should be a requirement to be a member. We are here to help the native community not just the membership. Otherwise that is like saying KIC medical is just for it's members and no one else.
  5. Streamline the application is not necessary. The applicant only has one page to fill out that is it. The rest is in my opinion the bare minimal.
