Scholarship Application Review Process

Each application will be reviewed by the EOD Memorial Scholarship Committee. The committee members are anonymous. The Executive Director is not a member of the committee and does not participate in the evaluation of the applications.

Each application will be evaluated across several merit categories, with points awarded for each category.

All questions on the application require answers or the requested documentation. If the requested information or documentation is unknown or unavailable, an explanation is required. Any blank or unanswered questions, without the respective explanation will result in the application being classified as incomplete and be disqualified from consideration.

Award Payments

Payments of awards are made directly to the educational institution on behalf of an awardee. Awardees will not be provided with funds directly. Award payments will be made upon receipt of proof of enrollment by the scholastic institution for the academic award year.

Award recipients must maintain their full-time student status (part-time for spouses) throughout the award year. If the award recipient status changes from full-time to part time, or is disenrolled, the remaining funds within the scholarship account will be returned to the EOD Memorial Foundation.
