Faculty, this is considered college-level service and is a great way to support our current and future students. And…the more reviewers we have on the committee, the fewer applications each person has to review! Reviews of applications occur completely online between February 16 and March 8. If you would like to participate in this rewarding activity or would like to learn more before committing, please complete the 2026 Scholarship Committee Signup Form<https://forms.office.com/r/SLTXFf8sqL> by February 6th.
