STAFF GUIDELINES FOR SCHOLARSHIP NOMINATION

Based on “Best Practices” for scholarship awards the TAAE Scholarship Committee requires the following of
STAFF AND STUDENT applications for the TAAE Taylor Marceau Scholarship Awards:

  1. The staff at each school facility knows their students better than TAAE ever will.
    • Therefore, school staff consensus nominations of 1 to 3 total scholarship applicant students should be the first step in assuring a worthy pool of TAAE scholarship applicants.
    • Also, a staff consensus nomination can serve as an honor for every student nominated, regardless of who is awarded a scholarship.
  2. Staff Members: Students are unlikely to use a scholarship if they cannot:
    • Articulate a goal and the essential elements of a plan to reach that goal;
    • Identify a support system to help them implement their plan.
    • Complete their FAFSA; and
    • Complete a college or trade school application
  3. Personal histories focusing on the student’s challenges & achievements shall provide distinguishing flexibility for the application process.
  4. Names of Nominating School Staff & Contact Emails and phone numbers:
