DISCUSSION A Scholarship Selection Committee comprised of Mayor Haggerton, Council President Quinn, Nate Robinson, Recreation Program Specialist, Cheryl Thompson, Executive Assistant and Jenni Standard, College and Career Counselor at Foster High School reviewed all of the submitted applications. Each reviewer individually considered the applicant's grade point average, financial need, educational and professional goals, community involvement (service, extracurricular activities, employment experience) and personal essay and provided a rating for each application. After reviewing the applications several of the committee members met and those members that were unable to attend the meeting provided written input. Each reviewer independently and unanimously recommended the same top two candidates. In June the Selection Committee will present an annual report to City Council summarizing the process. RECOMMENDATION Based upon review of the applications, consideration of all of the required components and discussion by the Committee we are recommending that a $2,000 scholarship be awarded to top two candidates: Tulasa Ghimirey and Lea Buenavista.
