Read and follow the directions on the first page. The second page is blank and the application begins on page 3.

Things to remember:

• All delegates may apply for scholarship money.
• No delegate will be considered for scholarship money without a completed application on file.
• Scholarship applications should be returned to Christiana or Morgan at a weekly meeting.
• There's no box on the form for Youth & Government - we know - that's okay, we know for which program your applying.
• Scholarships will be awarded based on several criteria including, but not limited to:
• Demonstrated financial need
• Demonstrated dedication to the delegation
• Weekly meeting attendance (including timely arrival and departure or notifying delegation president in cases of late arrivals or absences)
• Meeting participation (positive contributions to discourse, bill or proposal ideas, respect for fellow delegates, etc)
• Demonstrated fundraising efforts
• Attending fundraisers, selling tickets, selling coupon books, etc
• Effort will be every bit as important as results
• Participation in scholarship opportunities
• Timely return of required forms (medical release, delegation contract, etc), completion of requested actions (online registration), requested replies to emails, etc.
• Effort at making incremental payments when possible (i.e.: if you/your family can afford $10/week toward program costs, bring us $10/week; bring whatever portion of a payment you can on a payment due day, etc)

The bottom line: need isn't the only or most important factor, participation isn't the only or most important factor - we'll take a holistic view of  your participation in the program and your need for aid and do our best to equitably distribute available funds.  Please provide us with as much context as possible about your family's situation - especially if you feel the numbers don't tell us the whole story about your level of need.  We can do a lot to help, but only if we have all the information necessary.

If something comes up that changes your family's situation, come talk to us about it before you quit the program or anything crazy like that.
