Following a review of all eligible applications against the published scholarship criteria, the committee determined that one applicant clearly demonstrated the required level of achievement and alignment with the scholarship objectives. Although a second scholarship was originally anticipated, no other applicant sufficiently met the established selection criteria. As a result, the committee elected not to award a second scholarship rather than lower the selection standard.
