Application Review and Award Selection:
A Community Service Grant committee, comprised of CEE Alumni Council members, will review all applications. Council members who have children who are eligible for the grant will not be allowed to serve on the grant committee nor will they be allowed to vote. Applications will be kept anonymous by the CEE’s Alumni Office. The Alumni Community Service Award Review Committee is comprised of five Council members who will first select two applications for final consideration. The Committee will then engage in a discussion after which the deciding vote will be cast. During this process, an interview (in person or by telephone) may be requested.
