Here are some key ways in which you can become an active volunteer of Scholarships, Inc.:

Standing Committees: With a paid staff of only two full-time employees, much of the organization's work  is done through standing committees. A large number of community supporters, with a wide array of interests and expertise, dedicate themselves to the mission of Scholarships, Inc.  Current standing committees include:

• Scholarship Committee—Recommends scholarship criteria and guidelines, evaluates changes or additions to scholarship programs, and oversees the selection process.
• Scholarship Selection Committees: Nearly 90 people are needed each year to review scholarship applications and nominate recipients. The time commitment for selection participants is about 10 hours in spring. 
• Finance Committee—Responsible for overseeing the investment, setting the budget, and making recommendations to the board on the annual amount of scholarships to be awarded. 
• Development Committee—Responsible for building and maintaining membership, attracting major donors, and planning special fund-raising events.
• Special Events: Various events are held to raise funds, recognize special individuals, or promote educational opportunities. Volunteers help organize and run these events, including our annual scholarship award ceremony.
• Public Relations Committee—Responsible for the public image and communicating the missions and activities.

Board of Directors: This volunteer group of up to twenty individuals plays a critical role in the success of Scholarships, Inc. They are responsible for setting policies, monitoring operations, and serving as public figures of the organization.
