The scholarship chairperson is designated to co-ordinate the StageCoach Players scholarship
January:
Revise deadline dates on form letter and
scholarship application form. Print
letters addressed to each guidance counselor.
Deadline date is usually early April to allow Chair adequate time to
review applications. It is
advisable to let the Board of Directors review the application form every
few years. Although it is a
simple scholarship form, it will ensure that all new board members are
familiar with the terms of the applications.
The original list of guidance counselors for DeKalb County was
obtained through Chris Porterfield. If
would be advisable to check with him to see if a new list can be run about
every other year to ensure that the names are accurate
Early April:
Application is received in early April, read,
evaluate and selections made. Although
two (2) scholarships are available on a yearly basis, it is very likely that
there will not always be applications that fit the requirements.
It is acceptable for only one, or none, to be awarded.
The Board should be notified if any scholarships are to be awarded. The treasurer also needs to be notified when it is necessary
to have checks ready to presentation. If
scholarships are being given, contact the guidance office of the respective
school(s) to establish the date(s) of the awards night at the school.
Complete all necessary paperwork for the school that is required for
your attendance at awards night. If
the Chair is unable to attend the awards night and make the presentation,
they should contact the Board to ask for a replacement.
