The Chair is then responsible for reviewing the documents and if all requirements are met, approve them for consideration and ranking by our Evaluators. (Presently, there is a team of 8 Evaluators representing our Districts.and Trustees)The winners are then notified personally by the Chair (one of the most pleasant aspects of the position). The Chair is responsible for sharing the information about the "winners" through the web site and also through the Chorister newsletter in the October issue. A committee of Trustees serve as Advisors to the Scholarship Program. It is most beneficial that the Chair have email/internet access.
