Alumni volunteers interview scholarship applicants

Interview panels are conducted in-person or by phone. Local scholarship District Chairs organize and coordinate interviews. All Interviewers are given an orientation by the District Chair that includes how to assess a candidate’s fit for the scholarship program, and best practices for interviewing.
