QUALIFICATIONS AND DETERMINATION
Selections will be based on the overall worthiness of the applicant by a panel of judges chosen from NUCA North Texas membership by the NUCA North Texas Scholarship Committee.
The Committee will consider standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, etc.), community service and extra-curricular activities, career goals, work experience, and other information required in the application.
Applications and transcripts will not be returned, and scoring will not be divulged. Judging decisions are final. Judges will decide impartially and without respect to the identity of any applicant.
Judges will award the greatest value scholarship to the highest scoring applicant and award the remainder in descending order of value and merit. Judges will also select a first and second alternate in the event that an announced winner is subsequently disqualified or declines award prior to issuance of the award checks in the late summer. Alternates will not be announced.
Confidentiality of Applications. Information on the applications will be retained in confidence and used for no purpose other than this competition. Applications will be destroyed by NUCA North Texas after they are no longer necessary records. Applications and transcripts will not be returned. Winners will submit a headshot upon notification of award.
Award Notification. Applications will be judged, and winners notified by phone and email shortly after.
