The Scholarship Committee will meet at a predetermined time to review only sanitized copies of the application. Should any committee member recognize the applicant through the remaining information, that member will disqualify themselves from consideration of that application and the remaining committee members will make the determinations regarding that application. Only winning envelopes are opened and the others are destroyed.
