How many award recipients will there be? How large are the awards?
This will be determined by the amount of funds donated, the number of applicants, and the cost of the vocational or technical program. Awards have ranged up to $2,000.
How are award recipients selected?
After an initial screening conducted with the cooperation of the Fort Atkinson High School Pupil Services Department staff, the Vocational & Technical Scholarship Commitee reviews all applications and makes its award recommendations to the Board of Directors for final selection. Financial need is not the sole criteria for selecting recipients. We also look at the earnestness of the student, clarity of goals, and the ability of the education sought to enhance the student's employability.
