We are excited to kick off this year’s UCRAA Scholarship application cycle, and invite you to participate as a volunteer reader and scorer. Your support plays a vital role in selecting the outstanding students who will receive scholarship awards from the UCR Alumni Association.
What to Expect:
- Timeline: Reviews will take place between June 25 and July 9. Interviews for First-Year, Transfer, and Re-Entry will take place during the week of July 18-July 26.
- Format: All application materials will be shared via email. Interviews will be via Zoom or at the Alumni & Visitors Center (determined by the region chair).
- Time Commitment: We estimate that reviewing and scoring applications will take approximately 2-4 hours. Interviews for the top 3-5 applicants will be 30 minutes each (2.5 hours). Deliberation will happen directly after the final applicant.
- Training: Reviewers will receive a scoring guide to help standardize the scoring. Each interview committee will be given the same questions to ensure consistency.
Thank you for your time and continued dedication to supporting our Highlanders and the UCR community. Your involvement truly makes a difference.
