GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund Review Volunteer Application
Thank you for your interest in helping us select the 2026 GSBA Scholar Cohort! We aim to create diverse teams of folks that best reflect our scholars. Please answer the following questions completely to better assist to that end.

A few items to note:
- Volunteers will be assigned to small teams of 4-5 & about 15 applications to review
- From those applications, teams will then narrow down their applicant group to 3-4 applicants
- Teams will then conduct interviews of their top 3-4 applicants
- All meeting will be virtual and held on Zoom

Dates of participation are:
- Tuesday, February 3, 6-7:30 p.m.: New Volunteer Orientation, or
- Thursday, February 5, 6-7:30 p.m.: Returning Volunteer Orientation
and:
- Friday and/or Saturday, March 6-7 – Scholar Selection Meeting (who to push thru to interviews)
- Friday and/or Saturday, April 10-11 – Scholar Interview Day
If you will have a conflict on any of these dates, please consider skipping this round & passing on the opportunity to another volunteer.

All Applications are Due By 12 p.m. PST
