See Appendix 1for data on all Awards and Scholarships offered by the college during 20112012
In comparison to previous academic years the response to all scholarship awards varied. The
Academic Merit Scholarship continued to receive a strong response. Seventy-two less students
applied this year (resulting in a total of 150 applications) and fifteen less students received the
scholarship. Seven more Queensborough students were included among Who’s Who in American
Universities and Colleges this year, the total number of applicants (55) continue to be extremely
low. The college is permitted to approve up to 150 nominees. However, there were 23 more
applicants this year than last year.
Accomplishments
1. The committee was finally able to obtain information on the source and Monetary
Value of each award. The Chairperson obtained this information with the help of VP
Zins and VP Hartigan.
 Day and Evening incentive awards: $100 per award funded through the
Student Government Association
 Ray Ricketts: As of March 31, 2013 (3rd quarter), there was a balance of $2,404
in the account. The Ray Ricketts account has stipulations that the student must be
a returning student (must have left QCC at one point and has now returned); must
exhibit exceptional scholarship; and must exhibit exceptional leadership. VP Zins
recommends that we consider giving out an award no less than $50 and perhaps
consider $100.
 Women's Club: As of March 31, 2013 (3rd quarter), there was a balance of $223
in the account. VP Zins recommends that we consider giving out an award no less
than $50, perhaps consider a $100, and begin to plan to phase out this account
over the next couple of years. The Women's Club account has a stipulation that
the student who receives the award must demonstrate outstanding leadership and
service to the college community.
 The Ray Ricketts and Women’s Club accounts are temporarily restricted
accounts, meaning that you can give out as much as is there until the balance
becomes zero and then the account goes away.
 JFK Award: History of payments show $250 per award and a balance of
~$10,737 as of last December

MLK Award: History of payments shows $250 per award and a balance of $0 as
of last December. VP Hartigan will find out about where money is currently
coming from for this award and the committee will decide on whether to continue
seeking nominations for it.
2. The chair of the committee also developed a recommendation form with specific
sections (scholarship, college activity, promise) and lines for the Who’s Who
application. This form will be used in the 2014 call for Who’s Who Among American
Colleges and Universities recommendations from the faculty. This was in response to 16
students being ineligible because the recommender did not write a recommendation but
supplied only the students names and sometimes one or two sentences about the student.
3. The recommendations from the previous years to have committee members receive the
applications prior to committee meetings; to sort scholarship applications by GPA and to
indicate what topics the applicant essay should address were continued. The committee
saw an improvement in the quality of the applicant essays. The review process was
smoother and faster. Also, having applications to review ahead of time allowed for more
thorough reviews and left time during meetings for discussions for improvement.
4. The recommendation from the previous year to send the calls for award/scholarship
applications/nominations to the students Tigermail accounts as well as to the faculty was
continued. This way the student could judge their eligibility and approach faculty to
recommend/nominate them.
5. The Continuing Academic Merit Scholarship applicant list that is numbered and sorted by
GPA also listed the current QCC credits of the applicants as recommended previously.
This made the review process easier and faster.
Challenges

Obtaining data for the annual report of the committee continues to be a tedious task.

Overall, there was an improvement in the quality of the applicants compared to previous
years. However, the committee expressed disappointment in some of the recommendation
letters received from faculty and staff. There was again great disparity in the
recommendation letters. The recommendations varied from two words to lengthy letters.
In some cases the students were disqualified because the committee could not make a
decision based on two words.
Soliciting recommendations from faculty for the inclusion in Who’s Who continues to be
a challenge.

Recommendations
1. Obtaining data for the annual report: The chair and secretary of the committee should
be given digital lists of all of the final recipients or nominees for the various awards, from
VP Hartigan’s office. This should be done before the recipients are notified or nominee
lists are sent out. This will make compiling the annual report an easier task. The
committee chair and secretary should also be sent a digital list from academic affairs of
all of the awards and scholarships offered by the college, as soon as the list is compiled
for the Honors Convocation and Commencement.
2. The committee needs to determine the current source of funds for the Martin Luther
King Jr. Memorial Award since the account has a current balance of $0. The committee
will decide whether to keep this award or not based on the information received.
3. The applications for the special or commencement awards should have sections for
faculty to complete (Scholarship, leadership on campus, service to the college, promotion
of racial harmony, working parents) depending on the awards.
4. It is recommended that the Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities
application form should state that either student activity or community service (including
military service) is sufficient for consideration. The application form should also stress
that faculty should ensure that all supporting documents regarding community service be
included with the applications for their nominees. The application form should also be the
new form (with sections for comments on scholarship, college activity and promise)
created by the current chairperson.
5. The following is recommended in order to receive more nominations for the Who’s who
from faculty:
a) The application materials should be sent to students urging them to list their
accomplishments in specific areas and to approach faculty to nominate them
b) Department Chairs should be asked to solicit nominations from their faculty.
Nominating and guiding students to apply for awards and scholarships can be considered
service
c) The call for recommendations sent to the Community Dialogue should also list and
thank the faculty/staff who recommended students last year.
d) The master list of all nominees that the committee uses to decide on eligible candidates
should also include a column labeled “recommended by”
e) The committee should notify the recommenders of which students were nominated
f) A document with the benefits of Who’s Who should be prepared and attached to the
call for nominations
g) The following groups should be e-mailed or approached separately to nominate their
members:
 Program Advisors: PTK, ASAP, Academies, all student affairs directors
 Club advisors
 Research mentors
 A listserv for students with a GPA of 3.0 or above
h) Classroom announcements should be made by student club officers
Acknowledgements
Margaret Stroehlein did a great job as the secretary of the committee. She recorded and
compiled the meeting minutes and spent time learning how to upload documents on the
committee’s website. George Muchita served as a steering committee designee, and continues
to be an asset in the thorough review of the applications and discussion of each award /
scholarship candidate. Sharon Reeves who has served on this committee for several years and
reviewed hundreds of scholarship applications was unable to complete her term on the
committee when she was elected Chair of the Foreign Languages department. We thank her for
the hard work she did on this committee. Wei Lai replaced Sharon Reeves in May 2013 and
reviewed applications for the Special Awards. She was very thorough in her review of the
applications and made several insightful comments during the discussion of the applicants. The
committee wishes to acknowledge VP Hartigan for graciously arranging, hosting and attending
each meeting as well as reviewing each application. Her office staff, in particular Reynald
Pierre-Charles is also invaluable in collecting and sorting all of the applications/nominations,
documenting the outcomes/results and following up on questions or concerns about specific
applications.
