• GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund Review Volunteer Application

  • Thank you for your interest in helping us select the next 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 15-18 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 2, 6-7:30 p.m.:  New Volunteer Orientation, or 
    • Thursday, February 4, 6-7:30 p.m.: Returning Volunteer Orientation

    and:

    • Saturday, February 20, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. – Scholar Selection Team Meeting (who to push thru to interviews) 
    • Saturday, March 20, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. – 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.

    Applications close on Decemeber 31, 2026 by 12 p.m. midnight PST
