How Recipients Are Selected
Every complete application that meets the eligibility requirements is reviewed by the Kaiser Romanello scholarship committee. We evaluate each essay on:
- Insight and originality — the depth and thoughtfulness of your response to the prompt.
- Writing quality — clarity, organization, grammar, and persuasiveness.
- Commitment to justice — how convincingly you connect the topic to your own goals and values.
The minimum 3.0 GPA is a threshold requirement, not a scoring factor—a compelling essay carries more weight than a perfect transcript. All decisions of the scholarship committee are final.
