Grant County Futures Scholarship review set after EOU Foundation briefing
Summary
The board heard a status update from Tyler Dubsky of the EOU Foundation on the Grant County Futures Scholarship, agreed a subcommittee will draft revised eligibility language, and scheduled application review and award selection meetings.
Tyler Dubsky of the EOU Foundation reviewed the history and current status of the Grant County Futures Scholarship and said staff have had difficulty locating the scholarship’s founding documentation. Chris Cronin — who was the Center Director when the scholarship was established — clarified that the fund was set up to support students living in Grant County who take classes online, with the EOU Foundation managing the funds.
The advisory board agreed that Kris Beal, Chris Cronin and Lisa Galbreath will meet with Coordinator Jesse Schaefer on May 14 at 2:30 p.m. to review this year’s applications and select awardees. A subcommittee will meet with Dubsky before the board’s August meeting with the goal of presenting draft revised scholarship materials for approval in August. The minutes note the scholarship was intended for BMCC or EOU students attending online through the Grant County Center; that center no longer operates, prompting questions about current eligibility.
