Scholars Giving Back Award
This award program is designed to recognize students who have demonstrated commitment to their
communities as reflected in their volunteer activities as well as academic excellence demonstrated by
admission into one (or more) of the following top level schools :
•
•
•
Caltech, MIT, Stanford
Big Ten Colleges
Ivy League Colleges - Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and Yale
Eligibility Criteria:
This award is only offered to graduating seniors.
To be eligible, these students must fill out the primary award application as well as a brief supplementary
application that reflects their volunteer involvement.
They must also submit copies of their acceptance letters from one (or more) of the above-named schools.
Students will automatically be eligible for the awards corresponding to each of the above schools as long
as they submit a copy of their acceptance letter, however they can only win one award.
Award Selection:
Awards will be selected based on the student’s level of community service as determined by :
1) Duration of Involvement (how many years the student has been volunteering with a particular
organization). Greater weight will be given to those students who have been with one
organization for multiple years, versus short commitments to several groups.
2) Intensity of Involvement (number of hours per week or month) – greater weight will be given to
those who have spent more time volunteering
3) Impact of Community Service – as described by the essay portion of the application
4) In the case of closely matched applications, the decision will be based on the student’s ICAE
academic performance
